Thumbs up Re: Fuel system

I don't think you can go wrong with the Aeromotive for both cost and reliability. I bought two so I would have a spare but so far, after fours years I haven't needed it. I have a Magnaflow in the box waiting but see no need to use it at this time. Jim

I also have used the Aeromotive pumps and they worked well.

Installed an A1000 in my EFI Firebird after the pump that was in the car failed up at Lebanon Vally.....It was a similar pump made by Paxton.

Used an A-2000 in my dragster and it worked fine on gas or alcohol

Probably overkill for a Stocker but it never hurts to have a fuel system that is better than you need.

An A-2000 pump uses a return line at the pump back to the cell and pressure can be set at the pump before the regulator. I used 25 lbs at the pump.

I used a MagnaFuel regulator....pressure was rock solid....

pick your posion. Holley, Mallory, Magnafuel, Product Engineering or Aeromotive, they all have a model that will get the job done. Nothing trick needed and I never subscribed to the thinking that you need a pump that can fill a pool and lines as big as fire hoses.

Ran a Mallory Comp 140 pump and dead headed regulator for many years feeding my 700+HP 468 from the stock/unsumped gas tank without issue.

We just went to a whole Aeromotive A-1000 system (regulator, filter, etc) with return line. We deadheaded our old system and it seems the fuel pressure is more stable with the return line system. Everything seems OK so far.

Aeromotive owners are racers and stand by their products. Plus made in Kansas City, no foreign junk.

Joe,
D/SA 396/350 68 Camaro.
Took off an old Mallory pump, regulator and lines, replaced entire system with Aeromotive.
A-2000 pump, along with their regulator and new lines, picked up a tenth.
Granted the other stuff was old, but still, a TENTH?
Best part was the assistance from Aeromotive when I did have a question. great customer service!
Very easy to work with at the track.
and the best part....... (drum roll please.....)
Their contingency check is usually one of the FIRST to arrive. And in this day and age, that accounts for a lot in itself (IMO)!

Unk

Todd, FYI, long before I ran a Holley carb, I ran a Q-Jet on my 468 well in to the 10's! Same pump, same dead headed regulator and same stock unsumped gas tank.
