Weldon Fuel Pumps

[Jim Craig]

It was offered since that pump is an equivalent (flow-wise) of the most electric fuel pumps offered (and used) in the market today.

The fuel pump listed in the ad is not recommended for lower hp'd vehicles (below 1200 hp) -- that pump will support well over 2000 hp at carb pressure. Even though many individuals use large displacement fuel pumps for lower hp'd engines -- Weldon doesn't perscribe to that thinking. Think of it this way, if your motor on its worst day only can consume 100 gph of fuel, why are you "killing it" with over 400 -- you've got to do something with the excess and returning it only heats it up which can cause decreased engine performance.

Not saying that pump is not for everyone, but you'll be better off if you size it to the engine or application for reliability and consistency. Weldon's got a few options..................

I was checking out a 10 second D/SA 390 Mustang, and got to the fuel system, which was equipped with a 3/8 fuel line and a Holley Blue pump, I asked him about it, he replied it works, why mess with it.......

I wish I would have seen it before I bought the high dollar piece-o-crap Barry Grant pump and changed the line to 1/2'' can buy a lot of Holley Blue pumps for the price of some of these high dollar pumps, and service them twice a year......

You are correct, if it's not broke, don't fix it -- but there are economical alternatives available and you've got to do your homework. One thing about the Weldon, as long as you keep your fuel properly filtered (before the pump) -- you will never need to send it in for a "re-build", no such thing.................

Last July Richard Maskins chewed my *** on the whole Fuel pump deal on my new 572 he built for me. I was going to use my belt drive pump and he just let me have it, picked up his cell right there Engine, fresh off the Dyno and called Jim Craig. and said here order what you need. Jim dialed me in on a whole new kit, I went to E-town the following week and runnered -up in S/Comp in My Beretta. Weldon provides Racers the very best in customer service and the best products out there. If quality and cost is an issue then you need to find another form of racing. There is no way of doing what we do and using inexpensive parts. Weldon is the very best I've seen and they pay contingency- ON Time!
Just look at their web site for a complete education on fuel systems. If you have any doughts just call Larry Morgan and ask what He thinks of Weldon Fuel Systems.. If you need His number let me know.

A consideration with class racing which many people do not take into account is not everybody runs a Holley carb with two needles, two seats, two bowls. So the option is not a blue pump and regulator. Not if your going fast at least.
Q-Jets have small bowls as do Autolites like I run. The WAFB's I believe are also small.
I've run the "standard" systems (as prescribed by the manufacturer) and have seen their limitations. I've heard the sales reps arguments that "this is all you need" and proven them wrong. There are improvements to ET & MPH in fuel systems. Some are not using the "accepted" systems and finding consistent power.
