My 66 Barracuda will do that. I know about how much my tank will need (by tracking miles on the trip meter) so as it gets close I "try" to listen for the gas as it gets near. Also, around here the non-ethanol pump handles are variable speed that allow you to slow down the flow. They are great...

Very good question. @65dartcharger would know.

Good catch Mike!! That will get him a little straighter, like mine (it's on the left side at the rear of the head).

Mine is angled like that also, maybe not quite as much. Sure wish we could both find a way to bring it in a little tighter. But, I can get full throttle and throttle pressure without binding so I'm okay...until that nagging voice inside my head starts. Maybe someone else has ideas???

Here's my kickdown from a 66. Maybe the pics will help. I'm not 100% satisfied with the connection at the carb (Edelbrock). It sticks out and pushes the bar out but I get maximum throttle at maximum throttle pressure.

Learning and doing is what makes this hobby fun, interesting and rewarding. I'm always looking for the next project to do on my car. It gets boring just driving.

You can always drill a hole in your air cleaner base to run a hose to.

Putting rubber washers between the pump and frame helped quiet mine some. Not quiet enough for my autistic grandson so I'm going to add a cam snout extension and go back to a mechanical pump this winter.

That's what I call service!! I watched your video and the next video up was a 10 minute live version of Stairway To Heaven so I got a little sidetracked, lol.

One easy adjustment you can try is moving the accelerater pump to the hole closest to the carb body. That gives a richer pump quicker. Worked for me in the past when I had an off idle stumble.

The 1406 is designed from the factory for more fuel economy whereas the 1405 is designed for more performance.

There is a unit called MeterMatch. I haven't used one myself but other members report they work well. MeterMatch Fuel Gauge Interface Module This is a cheaper alternative to it. Another gauge corrector--cheaper than MeterMatch, 33.00

If you still have your original sending unit you could send it out for a rebuild. There used to be some places that could rebuild, not sure if any are still doing it.

Funny thing. After I saw this thread it got me thinking my pump was really loud. I looked at it today and sure enough...I hadn't put the rubber washers on it when I put it about 8 months ago. Couldn't find the washers so I cut some leftover rubber hose, first to length, then split it open...

I agree. Bolts, lock washers and nuts. Or, just a lock nut. I mounted my Holley black pump on the frame just in front of the wheelwell. The frame has holes in the bottom to stick your finger in to start the washer and nut. I use grease to hold the washer and nut on my finger tip to get the...

Agree. I used a 70(ish) timing cover so I would have mechanical fuel pump option. But, I kept the v-belt set up so it's a little tricky setting timing with the timing marks on the drivers side behind the power steering pump. Possible, but like everything else on an a-body, it's tight, lol.

Thanks. I sent my Magnum core to Ken for a regrind. The engine runs great, but I would also like to get away from an electric pump. I may give the adapter a try next time I have to get into the front.

Does anyone have experience with the Hughes adapter? I've heard negative things about it.

Nice car!! Have fun with it. It should run stop light to stop light very well. Once you get the Holley on it, drive it for awhile before deciding to change the R&P. You may end up liking the 4.xx. Love the paint!!

Probably not a couple of minutes. Silly question but start simple. Are you sure there is fuel in the tank? Ask me how I know :) You could also disconnect the line at the carburetor and put it in a container. Then have someone crank the engine to see if the fuel pump is pumping. If you...

Oh...I gotcha! I would too. Since we now consider ourselves Georgia residents (after living everywhere else) we root for the Dawgs. My wife went to University of Arkansas for a while so we root for them too.

:confederateflag::elmer::wtf: :rofl::rofl::rofl: Sorry, had to...

Except UGA Football. Go Dawgs!!!!

...and poof, the fuel is gone in no time.

My build is similar. Stock bore 5.9 Magnum with new rings and bearings, Edelbrock 2.02 heads, Air Gap, Doug's headers. Cam is a Oregon Cam Grinding regrind of my core, .215/.223 @.050, .517 lift. I started with a Edelbrock 750. Thing pulled really strong, but it would dump gas occasionally...

I mounted mine on the frame rail right at the bottom front of the wheel arch. I would have liked to have it a little closer to the tank but I also wanted it lower than the tank. I have 1500 miles on the engine an no problems. Well, this is the second pump. The first one, a Carter P4070 quit...

What year and model are you working on? Here's a picture of my 66 Barracuda. It isn't as close to the muffler as it looks in the picture. I didn't think to grab the picture until after I dropped it off jack stands.

I bought an Edelbrock 1792 from another member. Got it installed and back on the road. But I pulled my radiator on Thursday and took in in to be flow tested. It wasn't cooling the 5.9 like it was the 273. Here's a picture of the fuel pump. The muffler is not as close as it looks in the...

I'm willing to pay for a good one. And there were all price ranges suggested. "Best" is pretty subjective. A better title could have been "Suggestions for electric fuel pumps for carbureted warmed over street cars" or "What electric fuel pumps do folks like for a street car." I was...
