Fuel Pump Suggestions..

[TheMeat]

So just got the pump in and wired, quite as hell. Didnt even realize it was on at first. +1 for the new Holley Hp pumps..

What is the part number of the one you got??

[69importkilla]

It was an HP125 Model, Holley # 12-125

I have a Holley Black and it's annoyingly loud, even with sound deadener, a carpeted trunk and carpeted trunk divider.

Interested in the HP pump as well.

Besides the Holley any other suggestions for an in-tank carb fuel pump ??

I'm interested as well. I have a Walbro 255 for when I convert to EFI, but doubt it could be regulated down to carb pressure. Would like to ditch my current Carter mech in favor of an in-tank elec.

Actually that's what I found a lot of guys are using. Use a good quality return style regulator and your golden. According to folks who use that pump.

Really....that would be sweet! I could actually try that with the pump out of the car. Submerge it in fuel and hook it to the feed line, set the regulator at the pressure I want and see if I get creep. With the engine not running (consuming zero fuel) it would let me know if the return could keep up with the full supply flow of the pump.

Now would be the perfect time to the test since my tank is currently out of the car and I have easy access to the feed/return lines by the leaf spring. My regulator is a cheap Holley deadhead that is converted to return style (so the feed is totally unrestricted and the return should have a full 3/8 pipe to take advantage of if needed.) Maybe that would be enough?

Keep in mind. Rule of thumb for return line is one size bigger than the supply line.

are you running a return line/ regulator with this?
I'm about ready to order.....thanks

[69importkilla]

No return line or regulator...

If.you have ANY ethanol in your gas stay miles away from Holley pumps unless you buy one for alcohol....I used pump gas ,, straight up 91 octane here in Michigan and.it.corroded the Hell outa my Holley blue after a five min test run and then sitting one.winter.

[69importkilla]

Yeah Holley Blue pumps are ancient technology. The new HP pumps are built much different...

[forcefed68]

^^^Agreed, I run an hp150 (pn#12-150) from holley. It's so quiet i occasionally forget to turn it on, and 2 minutes down the road the car stall's out. Have had it over a year, and no problems what so ever. It's also a continuous duty pump, so its perfect for a cruiser. Im running the quick fuel 30-803 regulator, -10 out of the cell to an aeromotive filter directly into the pump, then -8 to the regulator and -6 to each bowl.

For those running the Holley HP pumps, are you still happy with them a few months later? I'm going to toss my Holley Black pump at the end of the season and will most likely go with the HP125 or 150.

[69importkilla]

yep, its still running quite well...no issues at all.
