Last fall I replaced the original manifold and carb on my car. I installed an Edelbrock Performer and BG 650 Speed Demon. I checked my stock fuel pump for pressure and it was putting out a paltry 3 psi. Surprisingly the Speed Demon is running well with this fuel pump. I thought it best to now replace the original pump before it decides to totally die. I would expect that a fuel pump with something producing between 6-8 psi would be best for my mild street application (only other mod is headers).
Am I correct ?
I have searched the achieves of several forums and found that I have only a few choices for a replacement. It seems that the Holly pumps have been of mixed reliability. The Mr. Gasket / Mallory / generic Jegs & Summit (all the same mfg.?) have been even worse, leaving many stranded . So what are my choices ? I do not need or want an electric pump. I also want to stay with 3/8 " lines which rules out some of the other pumps like low end Carter pumps with fixed 1/4" fittings. Recommendations please.
Jeff
