I have an elec. pump,filter and regulator in the "parts for sale" section...........$150.00 I think it`s WAY better than mechanicals but you do what you gotta do. 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....

Barry Grant was taking these and modifying them too...I have one on my Camaro..I know GM but they all work the same...those are good high volume pumps...mine is 14psi and I have to use a regulator with it...I have had no glitches in the 12 years its been on...
