SB Fuel Pump Suggestions

I am currently shopping for a new mechanical fuel pump and I am looking for suggestions. The last two that I have used have been the Carter M6866, which seem to last 2-3 years.
I would like suggestions on other brands, or the nicer Carter units.
I am looking for 5.5-7psi units which do not require a regulator.

What about the higher priced Carters, MP, Edelbrock or Holley pumps? I don't mind raising the price from my current $33 Carter as long as I am getting a good unit.

Thanks

ive always had pretty good luck with the carters.seems like ive had one fail.they are a good mech pump that will support 400 h.p..holley makes a good pump as well.

i see of your other post that you are replacing this pump.get the carter that you can replace the diaphram in . i think they used to be $70-80.it is a good pump.10 times the pump you are replacing

Mc,
I am currently leaning towards the Carter M6902, which has the replacable diaphram.

Thank you for the reply.

I am not sure how to explain this, but I am still using a stock replacement Autozone small block fuel pump that I've had for at least ten years and a couple of different engines. It probably shouldn't work, but it does. It has a 5/16 inlet and a 5/16 to 3/8 adapter on the outlet side. Fuel line is 3/8 except for a short section of 5/16 neoprene hose connecting the hard line to the fuel pump. I am also running a return line back to the tank. The return line is 1/4 in. with a .045 retricter. Both of the engines I've used it on make pretty good power, but somehow this cheap [ around $17.00 ] pump is able to supply the necessary fuel for a 3310 Holley up to at least 6500 rpm.

Me too, I used a cheap parts house Airtex? pump on a 360 SB (9:1/2bbl) circle burner (class rules-stock pump required) with 5/16" line and NO fuel starvation at 6200 RPM WOT though I am going to drill out the nipples to 3/8 & 3/8 line

this is the pump i would use. 3 valve and can be taken apart. the diaphragm is replaceable if you can find one. the mancini rebuild kits are junk!
