Title: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: Kaferdog on February 27, 2011, 19:16:10 pm Ok...Lookin for some opinions on this thought !..I'm thinking of running a CB rotary fuel pump instead of the Holly blue cuz I'm hearing too many stories about Hollys goin bad !....I've been hearing good things about the CB's....So now this is my question..! which one should I run the 3 1/2 or the 5 1/2...?..I will be running a regulator with a gauge because it's already there and I like the way it looks .......Any thoughts ?........ ???

But Lids have you taken it out the box and used it yet ;D ;).Ive used the CB 3.5 for a few years with great results. Andy Title: Re: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: Donny B. on February 27, 2011, 20:52:07 pm Ditto. I have used the 3.5 CB rotary fuel pump for about 3 years now. I like it, its quiet and doesn't shake the hell out of the car...LOL!

Title: Re: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: rick m on February 28, 2011, 00:01:16 am I have what I think is the CB 3.5 but it has been out of the wrapper for so long I cannot remember. What are the identifying numbers on the body of the fuel pump. I am just finishing up my fuel lines and getting the car ready to run and want to mount it once I'm sure I have the right one.
Rick M Title: Re: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: TexasTom on February 28, 2011, 00:09:45 am I've been running my Holley Blue for going on 17 years now ... still no problems.
And, I made a custom bracket for it so it's rubber mounted and actually pretty quiet. You can just hear it power up before starting ... Just wanted to throw a rock in the glass house! ;D But it is true. Title: Re: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: too old for this on February 28, 2011, 00:17:24 am i have had the 3.5 for well over 14 years no problems. Lids...you kill me........14 years ,no petrol,not turned a wheel,I would be surprised if it hasn,t fossilized ;D :PTitle: Re: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: gizago on February 28, 2011, 00:58:42 am If you run the CB 3.5 you dont need the regulator, ditch it, less joins in the fuel line means less chance of leaks.
Title: Re: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: Dustin on February 28, 2011, 03:17:58 am I've been running the 3.5 for 3+ years. Quiet and trouble-free. No regulator feeding 48 IDA's!
Title: Re: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: Gabetion2000 on February 28, 2011, 03:42:13 am I only had my cb 3.5 for 2 years, and it has failed. Holley here I come.
Title: Re: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: stealth67vw on February 28, 2011, 04:47:32 am I will be using the Mallory "Comp 70" 4070LP pump. 4 PSI , 70 gallons per hour, quiet, made in the USA, uses NPT fittings and rebuildable. I've been the Holley Red and Facet route and wanted something more reliable.
Title: Re: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: Lids on February 28, 2011, 06:20:24 am guys, thanks for all the positive comments ;D
It was a street car until i moved house and decided to start fiddling with it. should have left it as a 1914 and driven it for the last 7 years!!! hopefully this year, just waiting on JC to build it. Title: Re: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: Kaferdog on February 28, 2011, 07:14:29 am Guys.... Thanks for all the info...!...it's what I'm lookin for ..!..I thought I had the fuel line figured out but now I'm battling it out in my head..!it's the last thing before the motor goes in....! I want it to look good but want it to be reliable also..I was going via AN route with my fuel line .! which is already in place..!
Anyone have any pics on their fuel line system...?. ...I would like to get more Ideas I would like to go with the CB but it doesn't have threaded fittings so I have to think of a second choice......??? Title: Re: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: DKK Ted on February 28, 2011, 07:20:06 am Randy, a Mallory. Can you hear mine when its on? OR, you can do the adapter thing for the push on lines at the tank, then AN from there. CB still sounds good though! And allot cheaper too!

Ted ...How much was your Mallory..?...If I can find a way to go from AN to the CB I'd run the CB 5 1/2 with my regulatorTed Title: Re: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: DKK Ted on February 28, 2011, 08:05:47 am Can't remember but I did get it at McKenzies. Need to see a close up picture of the CB's to see what can be done.

Title: Re: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: Kaferdog on October 17, 2011, 16:16:05 pm Yeah..... I ended up with the CB pump which is a Carter pump and I'm very happy with it !......I went with the 5 1/2 because I'm running a regulator .......I have it mounted on the firewall and can barely here it
Title: Re: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: GreenTom on October 17, 2011, 18:51:27 pm I use CB 3,5 PSI since 2006 no problem with it (especially with shity polish fuel). I put those in all my customers cars, never had problems with them also (the same with 5,5PSI).
by the way did any of you put a pressure swich with it? Title: Re: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: Kaferdog on October 18, 2011, 20:43:16 pm No...just ran it with the regulator and thats it ...!
Title: Re: CB's Rotary Fuel pump Post by: youngnstudly on October 24, 2011, 00:10:12 am What regulator are you running with that pump? I have a 3.5 PSI CB (Carter) pump and I was thinking about running a regulator with it to bring the pressure down to 2 psi. Thanks for the help.
