Title: Looking for a QUIET electric fuel pump. Post by: danny gabbard on November 09, 2010, 23:27:57 pm Looking for something quiet and can screw AN fittings into.
Title: Re: Looking for a QUIET electric fuel pump. Post by: Donny B. on November 09, 2010, 23:44:36 pm I got a rotary from CB and it is very quiet. I think it's a Carter. I had a Holley red and it drove me crazy with the noise and vibration.

i had the same issue and ended up with a Facet red top which is a lot more quiet than my previous Holley Blue. Title: Re: Looking for a QUIET electric fuel pump. Post by: Jason Foster on November 10, 2010, 00:37:25 am (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/YAVE123/medium12-125.jpg)

I run a Holley blue in my '69 for the last 10 years ... sucked until I rubber mounted it. Turn the key and you can just barely hear it, but certainly not while the motor's running. RUBBER MOUNTING makes all the difference. I'd explain how I went about it, but you're pretty good coming up with alternative implementations. Here's looking up your old address ...

I think I just had to run some adapter fittings to run my AN line to it and has never let me down, unlike my loud pos Holley...

Title: Re: Looking for a QUIET electric fuel pump. Post by: Jim Ratto on November 10, 2010, 19:31:04 pm Red Holley mounted on Mercedes W124 air cleaner mounts... can't hear it inside or outside the car. I have AN-6 fittings on it.
Title: Re: Looking for a QUIET electric fuel pump. Post by: Diederick/DVK on November 10, 2010, 20:28:26 pm jim, i'm quite curious as to how you mounted the holley. i tried the same with my blue pump, but it was too big, i sourced the exact same mounts. now i used them again with the facet pump that produces a quiet hum that let's me know it's on but in no way it's annoying.

Does the Holley 125 have a built in regulator or do you run and external one? I am considering a new pump as well on my new 2275 motor set up. Rick M Title: Re: Looking for a QUIET electric fuel pump. Post by: Jason Foster on November 15, 2010, 16:48:55 pm It needs a regulator Rick. The pump is constant at 7 psi. I use a holley 1 to 4 lb regulator.

Thanks for the heads up. I will be updating my pump soon. Worked OK for the smaller webers but need more for the IDAs. RM |
