I've been taking my Bronco apart and replacing/fixing everything that needs it while the steed's immobile. I'm Herculining the interior and can't drive for a while......so right now i need help with a fuel pump. Can you guys give me some advice on the best one. TIA

I have had very good luck with the Carter Rotary Vein Electric Fuel Pump # P60430.

are you wanting electric or mechanical? The carter is a good electric pump. they also make a good mechanical pump. I think you can get either from Summit racing or jegs for the best prices.

I changed the mechanical over to electric just because I had so many issues with the mechanical. I replaced it wit a Holley red with a regulator and gauge. It runs much better and with clear fuel filters the electrical pump keeps both filters full. The mechanical never did.

I have run eletric carters for years on different vehicles. Never a problem.
I have a friend that has 2 holley red tops. one in the vehicle and the other in need of a rebuild (again). Good thing he has that spare...

how can you tell whether it's mechanical or electrical??? Maybe a dumb question, but hey..it's how you learn.....if it helps....i'm pretty sure mine's probably stock.

Stock is mechanical, mounted to the block on the drivers side near the front of the motor.

Mt.Guy: I don't mean to Hijack your thread but..... Does anyone know what the stock fuel line size is on a EB? I am going with the Mallory 110 fuel pump and they have 3/8 in. NPT inlets and outlets. What if my lines are not the same size?
