      Fuel Pump Suggestions..

      So I'm in the market for a electric fuel pump for my carb'ed LS motor. There are some new units from Edlebrock and Holley. Any suggestions from experience which is the quieter one? Please feel free to recommend anything! The engine is bone stock at the moment.

      I have a Holley Blue pump on my car. It has never let me down but it is pretty loud. I would like to switch back to a mechanical one because the noise is pretty annoying honestly.

      I've had good luck using a Mallory Comp 110 pump on my '72 Chevelle SS with a ZZ502 crate motor. It's quiet enough for me, and is dependable.

      Thanks guys, this is why I was asking. Running the LS motor, I have no provisions for a mechanical pump. A few of my friends have the older electric fuel pumps and they all are noiser than I'd like.

      I second bringing this one up. Only two guys posted but they are both running the older stuff. I'm interested in the newer Holleys and Edlebrocks as well. Luckily my project hit a small snag so I havent purchased a pump yet...

      I'm running the new Holley Dominator pumps. Haven't heard them run yet, but they are fully submergible. I have them mounted in the cell, so not anticipating any noise issues. I'd elect the Holley for that reason alone. A pump is more efficient as a pusher, and can't get any better than in the tank. I'm betting between the foam and liquid in the cell, the pumps should be very quiet.

      I have a newer ( 6-8 months old ) Holley pump.

      They are LOUD. I will not be sorry to see it go once I convert to EFI and a better pump.

      I will also say that whatever pump that you do get, get a regulator ( external to pump ) and put a pressure gauge in line somewhere. Holley says the pump that i have doesn't require a regulator, it is supposed to be 4-5 PSI. Without a regulator, it was at just under 7PSI.

      Fuel Pump Suggestions..

      I have run aeromotive street/strip pumps many times. They are fairly quiet and always reliable. I never had a failure. I did run a bypass regulator with those pumps and it ls a lot easier on the pump than a standard dead head regulator.

      I was really impressed with the lack of noise from my mallory comp 140, it's not why I bought it but definitely a nice bonus. The aeromotive A1000 is a really nice pump too, lots of good feedback on that one. Someone above brought up a good point, are you wanting an external or internal pump? Internal is MUCH quieter for sure...

      I plan on running an external, so I know I'm going to have to deal with some noise....I dont have the experience with doing an internal type set-up at the moment..

      the holley pump looks good for what I am going to be doing with my car. Definatley going to have to run a bypass regulator.

      Does the bypass need to dump back in the tank above the fuel level? My car currently has 2 pick up points in the lowest parts of the tank, and I was wondering if I could just use one spot for the pick up and one for the return.

      i've run the Holley red, blue and black as well as a Mallory Comp 110, the Mallory was the quietest of them. i'm currently useing a Holley black pump, its the second quietest but the noise isn't an issue for me.
