Here's what I did differently with the same pump. Some people who have this pump say it is junk but really they either incorrectly installed it or have larger fuel consumption than the unit can deliver. These fixes can extend the life of the pump and make an easier driving experience. 1. Steel fuel filter before the pumps filter and pump. I don't trust the cheap filter they supply. 2. Install a one way fuel valve near where the engine fuel pump used to be. It helps the pump not have to bring it up from the tank every time. 3. You probably always have to bolt the pump to the frame but the sound is not as bad if you put a rubber spacer between the frame and the pump on both sides. The frame echoes the sound. 4. Install a return line with a pressure regulator. If the fuel isn't circulating, it isn't good for the pump and it can lead to vapor lock. You can get bendable metal lines cheap at the parts store. Just use good hose clamps.
I actually reinstalled it like the last owner did. But yea come to think about it I like knowing the immediate pressure, and would like to throw some sort of filter and pressure gauge
Ahhh see I knew something was up lol I gotta 84 blazer k5 that I put this same pump on but I put the pump in the engine bay and you have let it prime forever, this video just saved me hours. Maybe even days 😂
Nothing like using TH-cam to troubleshoot an issue. No joke I literally just got done watching a video playing it in slow motion with the brightness all the way up to see where these stupid clips go rewiring the car.
That big fuel caddy can make easy transfer by removing the vent in cap, it's 1/4 NPT Fit a air line connection and use a regulator to keep it low of like 5psi and pressurize tank then it sill move a lot of fuel.
Did you add a fuel pressure regulator? The doc that came with it says to add it. I just added this to our ranchero but I’m still having issues of the truck dying once it’s done idling.
@@JamesCones-jj4jz I run an American autowire which is hardwired into the fuse block. It has a dedicated fuel pump system. If you don’t have this I’d do a relay.
That’s what I thought, but I was replacing from the position of the last pump. Plus there is no mounting point below the tank, the only thing under the tank is the asphalt.
Yup, that's the word on the package. I did see a custom mount between the front of the tank and the axel in a protective sheet metal envelope like which took it down to the lower level of the tank. Looked nice.
@@FootageFactoryThat's great. Curious why a regulator ? The flow didn't seem all that strong in that blue bucket there. Curious if its good to add a in-line fuel pressure gauge by the carb, and see what pressures you are seeing.
Actually, I completely rewired the car and there are two ways of doing it. I touched on it in my last American Autowire video but I could’ve done a better job. I’m away from my car right now out of the country, but I could make a video for you explaining the benefits of a relay versus not having one with a schematic. Would you like that?
@@FootageFactory i mean I know its best to use a relay on most electrical stuff but doubting if shall not run it with a fuel pump haven't done one yet always used the stock in tank fuel pump but now its not working out for me
Yea, it’s a little more than I like. But the car is straight piped so I can’t hear it over the exhaust. Have you seen my straight piped vid? Go check it out and see what I mean!!
Can you adjust the psi on this pump? I've been thinking about converting over from a mechanical one, but I'm probably going to have to run a regulator also my application only calls for around 5-7 psi at the carb
I didn’t run a regulator with mine, that’s not to say that I shouldn’t or that I won’t in the future. I need 6 psi at my carb, also there is no way to adjust at this pump.
Fuck no there is no adjusting this pump!! It’s a dumb pump. And I just bought one a week ago! I’m already replacing it because it stopped pulling gas out the tank. It has a 1.5’ line from tank to pump. So it doesn’t have to suck hardly at all, only pushing, and it quit after 1 week. It’s junk!!! Look at a Holley red pump. My friends car has one of them. 3 years not problem! I’ll be buying that one here next!! Edlebrock is junk!
@@jonellwanger7258 good info 🤝🏼 I recently replaced my mechanical one so for now I'll stick with that one. It doesn't makes sense to not add a regulator on it from the factory. They just want ya to have to purchase one separate I suppose. No wonder they are so cheap lol
@@dirtmcgirt0420 yeah. I run it on my 464 Buick. With a worked over Quadrajet. 5-7 lbs is perfect. Doesn’t over power the float, It feeds it fine, but only for a week, which is worthless. This is my third one, the other two lasted at least one year.. but my friend has the Holley red pump, ($150) and three years no problems.
No. Only one directions. Are you looking for a return style fuel system? If so I have another video showing off an aeromotive system. Take a look at that, it can be set up return or returnless.
Yea cause i have this electric fuel pump but I might switch it up to return style one with a carb but I doing my research when I get my fuel cell and thanks

Hell ya nice install! And ya warzone has been a blast thru covid. Miss old Verdansk, wish we can bring it back
I hope Verdansk comes back with all new shit and places!!! I miss rolling around with my friends in the helo talking shit.

😂😂😂 sounds like me replace until it sounds right😂 ❤❤ ❤
I race motorcycles, i replace parts then listen to the sound they make.
Nice install.
Thank you sir. Btw, I just received my tire size tool in the mail.
Did you add a fuel pressure regulator? The doc that came with it says to add it. I just added this to our ranchero but I’m still having issues of the truck dying once it’s done idling.
No I didn’t. I do need to add one at some point.
Does this pump Requires a fuel relay? Or just ground an positive
@@JamesCones-jj4jz I run an American autowire which is hardwired into the fuse block. It has a dedicated fuel pump system. If you don’t have this I’d do a relay.
Can it be at an angle or does it have to be levy
That I do not know
Doesn't the pump need to be lower than the tank?
That’s what I thought, but I was replacing from the position of the last pump. Plus there is no mounting point below the tank, the only thing under the tank is the asphalt.
@@FootageFactory 💀😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣💯
Yup, that's the word on the package. I did see a custom mount between the front of the tank and the axel in a protective sheet metal envelope like which took it down to the lower level of the tank. Looked nice.
Wat power source do you have it running to
Yeah thts my queston also
The pump holding up well? I read everywhere that it needs to be under the tank. But there’s literally no place to put that than the frame rail maybe
It’s holding up good. I don’t drive the car much, it’s still loud as heck.
@@FootageFactory loud I knew it mine is super loud it’s annoying
I have this same pump mine is so loud even over the 383 stroker idling with a cam I can hear the pump going
That means it's working I have the same one installed.
Vehicle still around ? How is the pump holding up ?
Sure is, pump still good. Might put some kind of regulator in the system.
@@FootageFactoryThat's great. Curious why a regulator ? The flow didn't seem all that strong in that blue bucket there. Curious if its good to add a in-line fuel pressure gauge by the carb, and see what pressures you are seeing.
Was a relay used for the previous pump instal?

Did you ever figure out the problem?
I did actually. I’m trying to upload the video right now explaining more into what I found.
I have a question, do you run ur mechanical fuel pump as well or you just run the electric one or you run both?
No just the electric. What carb engine and car do you have?
How are handling the load noise from the pump
Yea, it’s a little more than I like. But the car is straight piped so I can’t hear it over the exhaust. Have you seen my straight piped vid? Go check it out and see what I mean!!
I would think possibly a patch of sound deadner (dynomat etc) between the pump and the mounting surface 🤷♂️

@Jon Ellwanger I have three years on the holley micro pump. 3 years no issues
Thnk mine just went out😢
Dude I have thous same exaust hangers!!!
Does it return the fuel?
No. Only one directions. Are you looking for a return style fuel system? If so I have another video showing off an aeromotive system. Take a look at that, it can be set up return or returnless.

@@pacojr8206 Interesting. Are you going to make a video of it? Id like to see that!!
Nah I don’t make videos lol I wish tho but where did you get that 5.0 engine ?
@@pacojr8206 I bought it from a shop going business down the road from me. Shady business though! Im pretty sure they got it from ebay!
