Holley Red are garbage, what else quickly?

[tbowker]

Well now I'm in the boat where I might need to go E pump, and I remembered this thread. Do you have part numbers or a brief guide on how you built yours? I would probably go the same route you did, as a high pressure pump with regulator sounds like the best bang for yer buck

Look at post number 49, he listed a spreadsheet with the parts he used.

D'oh! I don't know how I missed that, thanks!

hey, let me know if you have any questions. that is for a high pressure setup, i can post information as well for a holley red setup, although it seems like their current quality is starting to slip. thanks.

Well the days are ticking down to when I'll finally get my heads back, and I think I might pull the trigger on just going e pump.
Three questions I had out the get go are, the filter head behind the alternator, I assume yours is deleted/bypassed?
Your fuel return, do you have it tapped at the fuel return for the engine?
Where is your pump mounted at? Between engine and tank valve?

Well, I had a Holley Red in the truck for about 2.5 years (I didn't have to fiddle with a pressure restrictor) then a Holley Black for about 6-7 months (Where I DID have to fiddle with a pressure restrictor). Both were loud, until the engine fired, then their sound was lost to the sound of the engine running. The fuel pump that was the best, and was sold with the truck when I finally let Henry go, was this one...
It's a little pricier than I remember, but it has all of the right stuff going for it, and detractors..

Was there supposed to be a pic, or a link?

Edited to add: Oh, this? Walbro Industrial E-Lift Pump Which one? I'm running an FRB-13, no regulator, in my '89.

I just installed an airdog 100gph pump on my truck after going through 2 holly red’s. It’s so much quieter and it seems much heavier duty. We’ll see how it lasts, can’t be worse than holly

How do you have the regulator return piped in? Are you running just one tank?

I have a sumped tank and my efuel is set up in my under bed toolbox(I’ll get pics) the pump itself has a pressure adjustment on it. I think it does 7-30psi. I have a regulator and fuel pressure gauge set up on the passenger fender.

That's what I'm thinking about running, something like that, but I want to keep both my existing fuel tanks, so trying to figure out what others have done.
Sweet looking setup!
Is that a returnless regulator?

No I have my return routed back to the sump, I couldn’t get any more pics to load yesterday. I wanted to keep both tanks just for the extra fuel but I had a hell of a time with that selector valve and my shower heads so I just wanted to rid my truck if it’s issues. So that’s why I went single. I wish now I would have went with a toolbox fuel cell combo in the bed, that 38 gal tank hangs super low.

1. Nope, I still have the filter head mounted on the engine also, but i built a bracket off to the left of the alternator and relocated it there.
2. For the return, I have R&D rails and they go straight back to the tank.
3. I don't run the tank valve anymore, this high pressure pumps are not designed to pull fuel so you need to mounted the pump as close to the tank as possible.
