Thread: Electric Fuel pump?

edelbrocks dont tend to like anything more than about 5.5 psi. on a stock engine gph isnt really an issue. did you already get an intake to do the swap from fuel injection. its possible you can run a mechanical pump. you have to remove the cover plate and check to make sure the hole goes already through to the cam. if it does get yourself a 15 dollar mechanical fuel pump and be done with it. you ...

Yeah I forgot to mention, The 350 out of the 90 chevy has TBI and I am removing that and putting the Edlebrock on it and I have an aluminum Edlebrock intake I was planning on using.

I used the Holley Red elec fuel pump to feed a hungry 454 BBC in my late '67 K/10 Suburban. With the fuel tanks all the way back at the end of a longbed frame, the mech fuel pump wasn't getting it. The Holley pump worked good. I had a Carter AFB 9635 [650 cfm]. It wasn't finicky about fuel supply.

So can you pump too much gas into a carb? If I have a stock 350 with a edlebrock 650 carb, would I need a regulator with that Holly Red?

hello,my 1406 running on a 99 caddy escalade motor does not like anything above about 3.5 psi.i am just running a generic electric fuel pump with a generic regulator and it runs just fine.hope that helps.

Edelbrock recommends 5.5 PSI for my 600 CFM 1405 on a 350 V8. I used a Holley 12-803 Fuel Pressure Regulator.
