If you go with an electric pump I will say I was very pleased running the Holley red pump for years on my mild 11 and 12 second builds. Its nice for a basically stock V/8 also as it has built in regulation so you dont have to put in an external pressure regulator anywhere. Its preset at about 6 psi I believe and I ran them for many years with good luck. Ron

Having been thru the "too short" pushrod dilema with my Hemi & 383, electric gerotor style pumps were the perfect fix. No vapor lock issues on hot days with crap pump gas, either. The Holley gerotor pump for the Challenger's Hemi & the Mallory gerotor pump on Power Wagon. Both super quiet, with the Mallory pump even quieter than the Holley. No way would I use a Holley vane pump since they're way too loud for me. Mount the pump behind the tank & install a return line & you should have many miles of trouble & noise free crusing. Also, both pumps are available in higher gph models as well. The Holley http://www.summitracing.com/nv/parts/hly-12-125/overview/Mallory http://www.summitracing.com/nv/parts/msd-29256

Is this the one you mean ? Is it noisy ? Also if I buy one without the built in regulator what pressure should it be regulated to ideally ? And regarding the pushrod, what length should it be ? Because I will take my current one out and see if it's worn http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Holley-12-801-...=item3f4b013001 Yes thats the one. If you mount it with the rubber pad under it then its not super loud but it is a bit noisey. If you run a pump with external regulater then shoot for about 5 to 6 psi. Actually any pump you use should be mounted with a rubber gasket between the pump and the body. Ron
