Well the old Mopar fuel pump gave up today. Guess it's time to go electric. It's a 1977 360 with stock heads. Edelbrock 1405, Summit high rise intake, Headman headers, stock dist. with pertronix. Just a street truck.

What's recommended for a elect. in-line pump?

Carter P4070 is what I recommend to any who'll listen.

Another vote for the Carter. Running the carter on my 37 Dodge with a 360 in it. No problems with it so far.

How much noise does that Carter make? I've heard some guys and their electric pump sounds like an outboard motor.

You do have to use the rubber mounts. You can hear it when you turn the key on, I can't hear it when the engine starts and I'm running a Dynomax Hemi Super Turbo which is louder than stock but not a Flowmaster.

Looking in my latest Summit catalog I see an Edelbrock pump that's supposed to be a lot quieter than your average electric pump. You could try that, I suppose. But the Carter is quiet enough for me. I'd definitely buy another.

I have used noisy pumps in the past and didn't like it. When I was shopping for my current pump, I was looking for something quiet. I settled on a Holley 12-125. It is very quiet, don't hear it at all with the car running.

Thank guys. Went with the Holley 12-125. Silent. Have to turn off the electric fan to hear it at all. Puts out 6 1/2 psi which is just right for the Edlebrock carb.

my opinion,,,i would never rely on an electric pump that is not in the tank,,they over heat and quit PERIOD,, (and i have a elec carter on my early hemi,not my doing cant be reversed) i would go with a carter mechanical pump, since you have a stock motor a stock carter replacement is still better then any auto parts store pump,,,i ran a carter 120 gph 7 psi mechanical pump for 12 years on the street on a blown 340 dual quad motor,,only reason i changed it was i freshened up a few things and did some cleaning,,,,just my 2 cents,,,probably worth 1/2 cent these days,,,lol

I am still running the same Carter "strip" electric pump I installed back around 1984. It has never failed me. PERIOD.
It hangs proudly in the breeze under the car, it operates after sitting for more than a year full of fuel, Mmy only wish is that the hot rod shop in Cheyenne, WY would have had a "street" pump in stock the day we rolled in off the Interstate and bought this one, installed it in the parking lot. Because it's a strip pump I have had to use a regulator.

I've bought others of this configuration, used, for pennies and never had one fail. They even make a 6 volt model for your old iron!

If you can get a tank mounted pump it'll be better, or if you have an extra $800 you can buy the Aeromotive kit that is really slick. But if you need to get fuel to the front of the car that Carter'll work.

I bought an electric fuel pump from NAPA 10 years ago (maybe longer) on my 4x4, one of those little square ones. The thing was flawless before the truck got wrecked, I used the pump to pump out 3/4 of a tank of gas before the truck went away. Probably should have pulled the pump too.
Every old Mopar I've had since about the early 80s has had an electric pump on it. In all those years, only one pump has failed, and that was just after a gas stop on the road, and there was pieces of crud stuck inside the pump and the pre-pump filter was nearly plugged. I replace the filter and the pump, then a couple hundred miles later I replaced the filter again, (Again it was full of crud, by the 3rd filter everything was good). I carried a replacement pump and filter along with the extra ignition box in a parts box I took everywhere I went. I have used those parts to help other people get home with their cars, but have not ever needed them myself.

Mounting near the tank, below the bottom of the tank, with the outlet end higher then the inlet has worked well for many years. I've not ever had one I could hear over a running car, but then again, most of my stuff isn't real quite. Gene
