I have a electric fuel pump that is very noisey. Which make / model / is quiet out of the box? I'm not talking about after the fact make it better fixes but a real quiet pump.
I ran one of these on my T for a while. It is a very quiet unit. I used the very low pressure version because I have Stromberg carbs. Not bad unit and not a lot of money......there are many more http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PFS-10700/
If there is any way you can install an in-tank unit you should do it. They run quiet and last forever. These guys have a nice kit http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=results/category_id=61/home_id=61/mode=cat/cat61.htm
in tank pumps, Ford used a "lift " pump in some trucks, might be low enough pressure to use. lots of threads about aftermarket pumps failing, and lots of 100,000 mile factory pumps driving around.
Definitely NOT Holley! I have heard that the Mallory pumps are quiet. I've got one but have not put it in yet.
I'm using this pump on my 37 coupe--been on there for almost 30 years and has always worked great--never hear it running.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What he says George, you can't go wrong with the carter fuel pumps, very quiet as they slow right down once the pressure is up. They are also brushless so there is no motor to wear out. They last a looong time and are available at napa in both 6 and 12 volts. http://www.jegs.com/i/Carter/180/P4070/10002/-1 Part number is P4070 for a non competition and cost is in the $70 range. Irregardless of what the ad says, Pressure is in about 7lbs or so, a holley pressure regulator is required as it can be hard on the needle/seat of a holley carb (over powers it). These are about as quiet and reliable as they get bar none. I still have the one Dad bought for the jeep in 1975 and I used it up till about 2000 when I parted the truck out. (the pump was still in use on my 400,000 mile F100 when I bought your stude truck in the late 90's) Above all things, avoid the inline/slimline style pumps as they are dam noisy and not very reliable as they tend to seize and/or short out/blow fuses. ""universal rotary vane electric fuel pumps from Carter operate using leaded and unleaded gasoline, gasohol, and fuel boosters. They have an internal pressure-regulating valve, and feature free-flow fuel delivery. These pumps have no points to burn out, and no shaft seals to leak or deteriorate. Easy to install, these universal fuel pumps come with a complete installation package and instructions."" moe
I had a pump that was very noisy, then I mounted it low on the frame (29 Ford Pk Up) and let the gas run from the original tank to the pump, and then to the down draft carb. Same pump, same truck, I never here the pump. They like to push instead of pull. Makes all the difference in the world. Iceman
I ran an Auto Pulse for about twenty years. Very quiet and never missed a beat. After it gave up the ghost I looked for another one but no luck. I figured I couldn't go wrong with a Stewart Warner pump so I ordered one from Speedway. I was hesitant about using it when I received it and saw the "Made in Mexico" sticker on the box. I have to admit that after about six months it was not only quiet, it was silent. Of course the engine wouldn't run because the freakin pump was dead.
Running a Carter electric fuel pump. But, the only place where I could mount it close to my fuel tank in my '53 Stude, was to the body. Don't that if you don't have to, mine's noisy as hell because the body acts like a big drum. Of course thats only when I first start it up, as soon as I get going, all I hear is that sweet Studebaker V-8 singing to me.
Well SHIT HOWDY. Now that explains alot. Ever since I rewired my Carter with a good direct souce of 12V thru relay it blows fuel out the bowls. And it's a none performance also.
Yeah, I had problems with needle/seats until I put a Quality (Holley) regulator into it. All good since. moe .
Besides mounting it with a rubber spacer try to add several feet of braided line off the outlet side of the pump before you go into the hard line that will cut down on the harmonics quite a bit.
