I'm getting ready to swap out either for another one or a different one. Just curious to see people's opinion on blue pumps and other brands. This is just for a street/strip 64 Valiant. 346 with six barrel set up. Ported E-brock heads with only around 9.5 to 1 compression.
The problem is that it went quite....hardly doing anything. I haven't really got too knee deep into to yet. I was thinking of just going ahead and buying another Holley blue pump and then rebuilding the one that's on there for a spare.
Thanks for the feed back.

I haven't had much success with vane pumps for fuel - and won't buy another one - any brand. I currently run a Holley geroter pump ( 150 gph ) with no problems for 3 years now.

Another question.....has anyone put in a shut off valve so that they could work on the system back at the tank? If so what and where did you get it, if you don't mind me asking? Thanks again for your time.

I always have a ball valve at at the sump so that I can shut off the fuel supply when the engine is not running. It is before teh filter and pump so that I don't have to drain the cell/tank to replace the filter or pump. Or worry about fuel siphoning while the car sits. It doesn't happen often but have seen it.

Sorry, but that filter is so wrong if you that in front of the pump, Real bad example. #10 should be feeding the pump, no smaller.

Cool, that's what I need right there......I'm in to ease of maintenance.
Don't know what is so wrong about it. It has fed the car that way for years and works fine. The ball valve is between the cell and the filter , this filter is before the pump as it is supposed to be. Have had guys that have race for a lot of years tell what a good idea that that is and have installed one. So it can't be too wrong. You can feed your pump with as big a line as you want to run to it but it isn't going to feed any better or faster than the fitting & inlet size of the pump.

I have a blue Holley pump with a Fram HP-1 filter in front of it.It's been run that way since 1981,and I changed the pump in 2000 because the fuel cell was left dry for a year and the foam went thru the pump.The current pump has been running for 10 years with no problems.
