IowaTom Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Guys - I'd appreciate a recommendation for an electric "clicky-clacky" for my F150's Carter YF knock-off. I'm planning on moving the location of my pump - back to near the tank, since my 300 six doesn't have a provision for a mechanical one. Right now I'm using the little, red Edelbrock that delivers 2-3 lbs and the previous owner mounted it just under the carb. My truck doesn't like hills. My gas filter is good, compression is great and I think I'm okay with timing. Leads me to believe I could use a few more pounds of pressure from a dependable pump. Thanks!

mat in tn Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Maybe this one? http://tinyurl.com/fnorpish I like this pump. I have used it on at least two trucks and a couple cars. I even used on my previous engine run stand. only one comment but not a complaint. you WILL hear it. I currently have it on my build at the moment and its mounted practically under the driver's seat. actually, on the inside of the frame rail about where the dual tank selector valve would go. it's at a low point to reduce prime time and far enough back to have it push more than pull. so far, I have not needed a regulator, but I mostly use Holley carbs.

Ifitaintbroke Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Those Edelbrocks are junk. I sell them and will tell people not to use them as a main pump. I had one once and it lasted about a day. Personally I prefer a mechanical, but if you can't use one you can't. The Holley Red and Blue are good pumps. A bit pricey and ridiculously loud but they last. I'm guessing you don't have a return system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
