Default Ready to change from electric to mechanical....

David and Rick,
What model Carter mechanical pump are you running? Are you running a fuel pressure regulator with it?

I have run Holley Blue electric pumps on my SPF (351W) since it was new. I am on my second pump (first one started leaking at the pump body at approx 4 years/25K miles) and also use the supplied Holley pressure regulator. The new pump is already getting pretty noisy - much louder than when it was first installed last fall.

Without an o/p cutoff switch (I don't have one on my setup), an electric pump 'could' get you into trouble at the wrong time.

It's time for me to change to mechanical. Just want to get the right setup the first time around :-)
