Dart with a warmed over 340, 4-speed and 3:55 gear. 90% street driven. Should I go with a electric or mechanical fuel pump and why??
Thanks
Thanks
I run a carburated intank pump, works good with no noise and starts good when cold
Please elaborate for the ignorant?
if your mechanical doesnt give trouble and supplies you with sufficient fuel dont f*** with it.
if you can afford it,the electric pump and regulator,with gauge,and a 3/8 line,insulated and your done,mrmopartech
like a fuel injection pump in the tank on modern cars except made for carburated, hence it only produces less then 10 PSI max an intank pump is quite, lasts longer because of no heat (fuel cools it) and its not that hard to hook up to stock tank https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=6551

Nothing wrong with running a mechanical pump. It'll reliably deliver more fuel than you'll need on a street driven car.
This can be true depending on the pump and engine combo.
Here is why I like electric pumps. Consistant fuel supply and pressure all the time.
I think if mechnical pumps were the bee's knees that the big three would run them, which they don't.
To the OP, I run an Aeromotive A1000 pump with 5/8" line. I use a return line as recomended so the fuel isn't dead-headed.
