Which holley pump(red, blue, black) would be the best for my setup? 351C .030 over 10.5:1 forged, 850 cfm holley, torker intake, 3500 stall.Does a bigger pump make the mixture richer? thanks

pump size should have no effect on richness on a carbed car. You need to run a pressure regulator so you don't over come the needle and seat and overflow the carb. Personally I bought the Summit billet pump. Looks to be and Aeromotive and seems to be a great deal.HTH,

i found a $19.95 auto zone universal electric pump (purchased in 1993) good enough to get me thus far. i probably should get a regulator though.------------------

We used to have pretty good luck with Holley Blue pumps. They come with a regulator.------------------

OK,I have to confess that the '66 running 10.60s omly has a holley red pump priming a mechanical pump up front. I did up grade the fuel line to 3/8" though. LOL SteveW

No experience but I understand Holley "Blue" Pump is the best. That's what I'm going to use. I'm also looking at a regulator with a bypass. Just remember if you get a pump, don't run it unless it is pulling fuel. It only takes a split second to burn up a pump impeller. Beware of cheepies on e-bay for this reason.Les ------------------

You must have forgotten all the times those stupid things leaked on us.  That is why I had about 6 of them in 4 years. I wouldn't run a blue pump now if it were given to me. Plus, they are incredibly NOISEY! If it is going on a car that sees any street use, buy a Mallory pump, they are a lot quieter and work just as well, if not better.

I wont use a Holley pump due to noise alone. Not to mention short lifespan and they leak like crazy. I agree with Kid about the Mallory units. If you run a Mallory with an older fuel system, I would recommend using a high flow filter before the pump. There was a comment above about pumps pulling,no way. Mount your pump in the back. Electric pumps need to push fuel. Closer to the tank the better. Good luck.------------------

For the LONGEST time that I can remember, we ran the Holley Blue pumps with no problems. We changed to fresh stuff just because it was time though what was on there was working fine. With the newer group at Holley, I swear they forgot what quality control is all about. Leaks, seizure, stripped threads and fittings. It got very very aggrivating. They have gotten better again, but are a tad noisy.
We have been running the Aeromotive stuff for the last 2 years. Pumps and regulators. High quality stuff. No leaks, and they look pretty in chrome and red anodized aluminum.

The tubing from the pump in the rear to the shock towers and return, is aluminum tubing that I ordered from Summit, about $25 for each size. I used the new Russell Hardline Connectors to connect the aluminum tubing to the bulkhead fittings. Using the aluminum tubing keeps both the cost and weight down. I am using the new fuel pump from Quickfuel now. It is a off shoot of Holley Black, but more efficent.

Hey 393 Bird guy... i went through all your buildup pictures... the ones of the 67 Mustang (link at fuel cell page 2) looks like it's in Europe.
