Reply to "Fuel Pump"

So what fuel pump did you go with John?
I installed a RobbMC pump on mine. Did it all from under the car, laying on my back. Never removed the bulkhead.

The RobbMC pump body is significantly larger than the Holley pump it replaced - a very tight fit! I couldn't fit my fingers between the pump and block to put the bottom nut on to secure the pump. I had to get my son who has smaller hands than me, and even then he could barely get his fingers in there, while I pushed down on the pump from the top to seat it against the block.

The RobbMC pump also has 1/2" ports instead of 3/8" ports like the Holley pump, and they're located in different positions on the pump body, so it took a number of trips to Royal Brass and my local Lowes and Home Depot to find all the appropriate fittings I was looking for to connect it to my hard line to the carb. I also had to bend up a new hard line from the pump to the carb since the old one for the Holley wouldn't work with the new pump.

But, the new pump works great!
