Electric Fuel Pumps...

[L.Fite]

What's the hot ticket on fuel pumps?
Who pays contingency?
What happened to the Barry Grant stuff?... gone away, or someone pick up the product line?
(I've been away awhile...)

Magnafuel and Weldon both pay contingency and are excellent pumps.
I run a Magnafuel pump on my SG car and love it , so far better than the previous Barry Grant and QuickFuel BG Clones .
That said ,a lot of the Stock /SS cars I build get a Aeromotive A1000 pump and return style regulator.
It has proven to be a really bulletproof pump for both my carbed and EFI customers cars, one advantage is the ability to mount it just about anywhere.
No matter who's pump you buy, be sure to use a quality stainless screen filter before the pump.

Weldon had a lifetime warranty don’t know if they still do.It would pay to check I have used Weldon since 1982 with no problems and outstanding service!

I have a Weldon pump. It has paid for itself many times. Great service from Jim Craig. many pumps can get the job done but this is well worth the money and pays for itself in Contingency

Looking at that set up also...

Advantage/Disadvantage, Bypass/Deadhead regulator?

I see Weldon leans toward Deadhead, but they sell both...

This is carbureted if it matters.

I've never tried a Bypass set up, except with fuel injected stuff with mechanical pump.

You set the dead head around 5-7#s. The pump has its bypass on the pump. I run the pump at 21-23#s Works great. Very steady pressure and more volume than you will ever need
I think the advantage to this set up would be you only have to run a short hose from the pump back to the Tank

If you are running a QJet or any other non Holley OEM carb the bypass style is the way to go.
