    Electric fuel pump recomendations

     



    I was wanting some opinions on who's electric fuel pump you might recommend, and why. I am building a street driven, blown 392, 6-71, two-demon 650s, with automatic in a 33 roadster. I am thinking a BG HR220 with a BR regulator.
    Using #10 line from the tank to the pump, #10 from the pump to the regulator, and a #8 line from the regulator back to the tank. I will also have a relay near the pump so I can run #14 gauge wire to the pump for the current draw.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    For some reason we have always used Holley pumps. Maybe there are better units out there, but they have served us well. One on my '27 has been there for 20 years, one on my Jeep truck for 6 years, and now I have a red one on my T and my Son has a blue race version on his T. They are noisy, but loud pipes take care of that. My Jeep is quieter, so you can hear the pump going pretty good. People who ride in it always ask "what the heck is that compressor running?"

    One thing.........whatever pump you choose, put a GOOD filter before the pump. They HATE dirt and it will make them malfunction real quick, even a spec of it. (ask me how I know )

    I ran the Holley's for years as well and with good luck. They are rebuildable too. Noisy, especially at start up - but like Don said, a good set of pipes will hide that - also blower whine

    I have used my last Holley fuel pump. I used the Holley Red pump on several cars, but I have had two go bad - with clean lines and good filters in front of them.

    The Holley Red on my '34 lasted a week, and left me stuck about five miles from home. I threw it away and replaced it with an Edelbrock. It works fine, and is much quieter. I don't think the Red would feed your setup, but that's my two cents, and I'm done with Holley.
