Looking for the best carb fuel pump and a regulator that I can put in the engine bay...prefer a regluator with a gauge.

I like Facet for both pump and regulator. The clicking is distinct enough to let you know it's working and stops when it's up to pressure... you can't hear it when the car is running. It's also a clear indicator if you have a fuel leak.

Here's a link to Racer Parts Wholesale with both of their pumps. I've used both of them in multiple cars with good results.

The cylindrical pump is far quieter, but they are both self-priming. I had mine mounted on the front firewall along with the fuel filter housing. That way I could change the filter without completely draining the stock tank. Now that I use a fuel cell, I still have them both mounted above the tank with no problems.

Now I use a -8 supply line and a -6 return for FI. Bigger is better for good flow.

Good luck,
