V8 Fuel pump? Options

[rey]

Hi All, another question,

1...... which electric fuel pump do you use with a v8 ?

2......Dose it need a fuel regulator? what psi dose it need to run at?

3....Or can a stock fuel pump be used with the RH or DH set up?

Need advise here gentlemen starting to drop some dead presidents need to get the right stuff

Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Okay, It a 283 v8, Edelbrock carb 600cfm only one, About 250 HP

whats a recirculating or a direct fuel system

where are all the V8 people when you need 'em ? ...

ALL 914's originally had recirculating fuel systems.
fuel was drawn from the tank, pressurised, and the excess returned to the tank. search on 'recirculating' and you'll find the thread we just had on this subject.

carbs don't *need* recirculating systems but they have advantages...

IMO - since you have the choice, mount the pump up front, and get one from Summit or somesuch, since it's a match with the carb maybe an Edelbrock - minimises finger-pointing later... or a nice Holley, or a Moroso, or a MSD...

i have NO clue what your specific carb wants to see in the way of pressure but i'm guessing 4-6 psi. run a GOOD fuel regulator. anything you see on the pegboard at the FLAPS probably doesn't qualify... again - check the 'usual' hotrod sources like Summit. get good hose, and good hose clamps. fuel leaks are unpleasant.

almost any "performance" carb (4-6 psi) fuel pump will deliver all the fuel you'll ever need ...
