Carter electric fuel pump

After years of buying holley electric fuel pumps (mostly from habit) I believe I'll try the carter electric, I understand it's quiet and has an internal regulator. Anybody ever use one.

Perry - I have had one for over 4 years now, feeding my hungry 408 stroker windsor sb. (which can drink fuel at 4mpg on the track).

Never get more than 5 psi, never get less than 5 psi, even at WOT on the chassis dyno.

I couldn't call it quiet, however. Still, soon as the engine fires up, who cares.

I have it mounted in the trunk, above the tank, so it manages a suction head of about a foot.

Thanks wilf, it's good to know you can order the carter with just about any psi rating. Thanks again......

I installed a carter after my holley leaked. My holley was loud so I decided to try another brand.

The carter works great. much quieter than the old holley. I also have the internal regulator. So far going on about 6 months and still happy.
