need advice on installing elec. fuel pump
I still have tank in cab . has anyone done this and can share ideas what pump did you use? did you need a regulator ? thanx in advance

They make external pumps that mount to the frame rail. I have heard that it is important to have them rubber mounted to keep down noise. I used and in tank pump, but relocated the tank to the back of the truck.

I'm using the Holley "Red" pump, which is for street applications. You'll want to mount to close to the tank as these pumps "push" the fuel as opposed to "pulling" it like a stock mechanical pump does. I also bought a regulator but turns out I don't need it. I installed a fuel pressure gauge up by my carb and the pressure seems just fine without a regulator. I'm running an Edelbrock 1406 (I think) and they recommend 5psi max. I think mine pump is running at 4.5 psi. I haven't really driven the truck much yet so I really can say if I like it or not. I think I will though. It's not very loud either, not even noticable with the engine running.

Previous owner fitted a Carter electric pump when the carb was changed from a Holley to a Carter, sits on the outside of the frame rail just under the rear of the passenger door. It is a bit loud, but I need to check the mountings to see if they are rubber. Other than that it works fine. If you are clever and fit a concealed switch in the circuit to the pump you can also use it as a simple anti theft device....no fuel=no power to drive truck away!

I'd suggest the mallory gerotor pump. Its a little more expensive but you can hardly hear the thing and its a very high quality built unit. Beats the holley pumps hands down . Those things will drive you nuts.
