Recommendation For A New Electric Fuel Pump Set Up

[Dudeland]

If you are looking for a nice carter rotary and pressure regulator let me know. Not small but the choice for a lot of old school hot rod guys. I will send pics once I get back to my laptop.

I no longer need it after going to my Holley efi. Not looking for much money. I just want it to go to a good home.

I'm running Carter P4070 with reguator set at 2psi with 45's, It works fine but I wouldn't recommend it, I rubber mounted it in trunk and wrapped it with insulation and still noisy as hell, I'll be switching to holley in line pump as soon as I get the time

Pierce Manifolds offers two different electric fuel pump choices.

Mine is mounted under the car near the front of the fuel tank; pressure regulator and filter are mounted on the front bulkhead where a tii fuel filter would be located.

It's on the right wheelhousing. I think later blue books contain the retrofit.

 

Does the blue book (or other) describe why the electric pump is needed? Application? Models? etc? -KB

No, but the drawings are from November 1967, with later changes to Rubber and Wiring dating 1968 and 1970

Uai and John, I neglected to reply with a thanks for the answer to my question. So... Thanks!

That factory bracket looks like it shouldn't be too hard to replicate with some heavy sheet metal ...and if one installed the pump on the opposite side of the bracket, it would be even more protected in the cavity between the wheel well and the rear quarter panel - the more exposed locations on the trunk side of the wheel arch always make me nervous about shifting cargo snagging a fuel line.

The first 1600ti’s were manufactured in September 1967. Although most stock 1600ti’s and 2002ti’s appear to operate fine with the standard mechanical fuel pump, it’s hard to imagine any pressing need for an electrical fuel pump in November 1967 other than the 1600ti.... ?

The 1600ti/2002ti run ends in April 1971.

 

So, we don’t really know the genesis behind the electrical fuel pump, we’re guessing.

 

Best regards,
