Carter electric fuel pump install.

bronconut73 · Jul 22, 2017

This is what I have so far.

Carter 4070?.
12 gauge power wire from relay. All wires covered in a Nomex? braid. All grounds are on ground raw frame and sheet metal.
3/8" neoprene fuel hose that converts to -6AN SS braided hose after the pump. Typical 3/8" opaque fuel filter prior to pump. Sintered bronze filter right before carb.

Mounted fuel pump on frame rail. Will go to single exhaust this year so pump location should be fine.

More photos tomorrow ....

Some more photos.
All electrical.
Now to plumb it.

By the way, the Carter pump came with a great bracket with rubber mounts for sound isolation.
Great self tapping bolts. I just drilled a slightly smaller hole and ratcheted them in.
Also has screws, hose clamps, wiring, butt connectors, etc...
Parts suppliers often say, "With everything included"
This "actually had everything included"

Happy so far. Will report back with completion of install ....

Given the stock type fuel tank it presumably has a sock on the end of the pick-up. If it does then the clear filter is redundant and is a restriction on the side of the pump that can cause or be a contributor to vapor lock.

Looks good bnut - are you doing your Fitech install now?

bronconut73 · Jul 23, 2017

Waiting on FITECH.

But I am kind of doing this with it in mind in the near future thus the insulated fuel clamps and sheathed power line and relay. Getting ready for FI. Only thing that might pull me away from the Sniper or FITECH is that, I have a friend that is on and off with selling me his Lightning GT 40 top end for my Windsor. Kind of pricey but would be bitchin'.
I usually only have disposable income like that around tax return time, haha.

I have a Holley 4 Barrel Carb on my Bronco and it is supplied gas by the same exact type of Carter fuel pump that you have. My Carter pump has been on my Bronco now for over 20 years and it is still working fine. I do carry a spare Carter pump in my tool box, just in case, but haven't needed it yet. I run a fuel pressure regulator between the pump and the carb to keep the pressure down to a steady 4 pounds to the carb, works good for me.

Don't forget the wire clip that holde the wire plugs in place at the pump. Are you using a rollover or an oil pressure switch to shut off the pump incase of an acvident?

You are right, but his is mounted vertical! I had to look at it twice to figure out the picture was rotated. ;D

No pressure switch yet.
Just getting it going again for now.
Do I put the pressure switch in line with my relay signal wire?
Does the switch go where my oil pressure gauge hose goes into?
If so does it have a place for the oil gauge hose?

Damn....that pump is loud...oh well...

I use 1/8" copper tubing, some compression fittings, and a 'T' to remote mount both the oil pressure sender and the fuel pump oil pressure switch. I didn't want a large amount of weight on the end of the OEM pressure sender extension as that just seemed like a failure waiting to happen. This is the switch that I used, but it can be found for less as an OEM application with a little work: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/crt-a68301 Can see the switch mounted to the backside of the shock tower and the copper tube on the engine in this pic:

FWIW this is the filter that I use (bought locally) for both carb and EFI: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wix-33481 along with these AN adapters in steel: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aer-fbm2608 or these in aluminum: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ear-991955erl
