Is anyone using the Edelbrock 1724 mechanical fuel pump on a FE? I'm interested in it because it has 3/8" fittings, most others have 1/4" or 5/16", from what I've seen. Per Edelbrock ads, it will support up to 600 hp. Rated for 6 psig w/o using a regulator. Ad sounds like it is intended specifically for Edelbrock carbs. From some old racers I know, they indicate that a Holley needs a little more psig at the needle seat than the Edelbrock carbs do. I am running Edel heads, intake, water pump, and maybe fuel pump, but I'm definitely running a Holley carb. Just wondering if anyone is using the 1724 pump w/Holley carb, and if you are satisfied or not. If not the Edel 1724, what mech fuel pump to use on an FE w/Holley??

Mine will be a 428/4.13 bore w/4.25 stroker = 455 c.u., 10:1 c.r. w/above mentioned parts + full MSD ignition. Still haven't decided on cam, but .580-.600 lift, lots of duration, etc........

thanks in advance for your replies/experience/knowledge!!
