Re: Holley electric fuel pump

Lynn -

The only pumps that I have used (I'm sure others exist too) was the Carter pumps. One thing that I didn't like was the connections to the pumps were push on terminals instead of screws/nuts. Newer or Marine might have changed that but the push on terminals were weak. It was very quiet and never had a problem with it running a 454 in a boat. Not sure what the HP capacity are on them, but it was a good pump.

I have a holley 160hp in the Mustang and it is mounted in the trunk to the battery box but I would expect it to be loud if not.

I also have the SX Performance inline EFI pumps that can run a carb (I have one of their Carb Regs for that pump) but I am guessing it will just be bypassing a huge amount of fuel back to the tank and draws a bunch of current (like 10 amps or so).

Oh, and a mechanical or roller cam will help quiet the fuel pump noise
