Recommendations on a brand of mechanical fuel pump that doesn’t suck?

[rbwamsley]

Can anyone give me a recommendation on a brand of mechanical fuel pump that doesn’t suck? Reviews seem to be mixed on all of them.

I've had good luck getting em at napa.

I'm using an Edelbrock. It was more expensive but has lasted a dozen or so years now so not going to complain.

NAPA is the place for this type of stuff. Top of the line version or suffer the consequences.

I just think their top-o-line is the same as their shit, just with better warrantee...
I did manage to get mostly through this season without replacing the fuel pump (8-10k miles).
I have an Edelbrock in the waiting as well as an electrical - waiting to see who wins when I am forced...

Airtext brand is awful. Holley or Edelbrock have pumps rated for alcohol or race fuel they last the longest. Most gas is E10 today and that alcohol just kills the diaphragm. This is a stock appearing replacement that claims e10 compatible. Company is in Canada.

Made in America too! I think I'll be ordering one myself.

I’m thinking that if the fuel pump does NOT ‘suck’ (gas from the tank) it is not doing its job.

Nice find!! Looks like they have the early models that have the vacuum control for wipers as well....

I wish someone made an E10 compatible accelerator pump for our carbs.

The internet is really coming through today! I switched to EFI but work on carbs more often than I like!

I am running an edelbrock now after multiple cheapee failures. So far, so good.

The photo is of a six cylinder pump, which has always been the easy one to find. It's the V8 vacuum pump one that's been obsolete for years.

Sorry to have hijacked this thread. Has anyone used this kit with good results yet? I have a kit from Mike's sitting in my garage ready to assemble my 2100. Wondering if I should buy this kit instead or if it's the same.
