best fuel pump for my application
just looking for a little help deciding on a fuel pump. the motor is a 496 BBC in a 69 camaro. i was thinking about using the A-1000, since i want to eventually run fuel injection. but i was also considering the holley HP150. anybody have any other pumps they could recomend and why? i will be running an 850 carb for now. any suggestions/info on the afore mentioned pumps would be great. i know the hp150 is supposed to be super quiet, and i believe its a bit cheaper than the a-1000. how loud is the 1000? any one have any issues with either of them? any recomendations? car will be mostly street driven, with the occasional track day...thanks....

I like the a1000. I used it on a smallblock blowthrew carb setup and works great. so i got another one for a new project on a 69 camaro big block blowthrew. as far as noise they sound a lot like a fuel pump in a newer mustang.

Just purchased an eliminator for a blown 355 SBC. Should allow plenty of head room. I wont hear it in the car over the blower whine so noise is not an issue. Setting up the sumped tank and installing it is.
Where on a 2nd Gen camaro do most people put them?
1) level with the rear leaf spring like this.
2) level with the rear of the tank by the sump like this.

For a carb I've had good luck with Mallory 140s. Quiet also. They have a new EFI 110 not sure how many HP it wil actually feed. Mine is bolted to the floorboard kickup for the back seat in frant of the rear end.

I used a Carter pump to fire up my motor on the stand but it doesn't look like it will feed the motor especially under load (fuel pressure drops to 4psi). I think I am going to run a Barry Grant BG220H, you can check them out here:

Jegs sells them and they aren't too expensive on the wallet:
