I'm going to need a fuel pump for carbs. Any suggestions? I've heard mixed opinions on the Facet pumps. I'm looking at Holley pumps on eBay... are they robust enough that I can think about buying a used one? And then there's the question... mount it by the gas tank, or in the engine bay?

I think they are robust enough but are presett to run 8 to 9 psi. So you will need a fuel regulator to drop it to 3.5 psi. Maybe better to find a pump self regulated at 3.5 psi. If your going to have the car all apart, might as well mount it up front. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

Peerburg pump. Already runs the correct pressure for a set of webers, and is quiet. Mount it up front by the tank. It will work better pushing than it will pulling.
At Zims, we put them on old 911s when the factory bosch pump goes out. |

You can't PULL a liquid! Yeah, but if the pump is lower than the tank, it could still be located in the engine bay... fuel would run to the engine bay even without a pump (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I was leaning towards front mount anyhow, if for no other reason than the pump would be better protected. |

That's a good price, my cost is $85 for them. I got one sitting in will call for my 914. Glad I checked this thread! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) They tack on a $4 handling charge (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) But then shipping is only $4.80. I might have to go for this when the time comes. |

I'm running a CB rotary pump. Quiet and internally regulated.

I'll be using a CB perf. too... Justinp71 has one running his new 3.0 6 and its quiet and gives a constant 3.5 according to his gauge.

The CB pump would probably work great as well, but I already have the other sitting for me to pick up. Since my 914 is a 74' and the wiring is already back there, I'll just leave it in the back and mount it up. I plan on having a pressure regulator in place as well and hooking the return line up etc.etc.

So far so good with my CB pump. Mine is mounted where the original fuel filter was...

One more for the CB Performance. They've given me yeas of quiet service on a variety of different cars and never a problem. And it's nice not to need a separate pressure regulator. Used the Holley one time, never again.

[/quote] Yup, being a Boiler Sup and dealing with Hydronic loops/pumps all day, liquid doesn't lend to being sucked or pulled very well. Loves to be pushed as we all know it's a non-compressable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I'll move my pump to the front at some point. But not right now. |
