Edelbrock Performer Carb 1406 on 318 - small question

[Mopar King]

Hey guys, I just had a small question - I have a Edelbrock Performer Carburetor Electric Choke - part #1406 on a 318. I was wondering if a stock Fuel pump would be sufficient for the carb or do I need to get a performance fuel pump?

I tried searching the answer on here and Google-ed it looking around but to no a vale. The reason i ask is because I was worried about the PSI not being enough to feed the carb. any insight will be greatly welcome.


On the Edelbrock manual online it says:

-- On IDLE it should not be no more than 6.0 PSI
-- with most fuel pumps the minimum fuel pressure is encountered at high rpm and WOT(wide open throttle). Fuel Pressure should not drop to 2.0 psi, if it does a fuel pump with more capacity is needed

The stock one should be fine, I have a similar combo and use a carter fuel pump. Never had a problem with it!

Stock pump works just fine for the Eddy's.

Xs3 - no problem here. i have a pressure gauge between my stock fuel pump and the 1406, runs 4.5-5.5 all day long.

Thanks guys for responding - at least the seed of doubt is off my mind
