I bent up my old fuel pump nice and good doing "adjustments" to make the fuel line fit over it. Well instead of replace I might as well upgrade!!!! How big of a pump would I have to go with to make sure my engine is getting choked down when it is nearing 7000rpms, and I don't want to overdo it either. I want to go with a holley pump, mostly because I trust their products and have had good experience. If anyone can recommend a specific model that would be great too.

I still have the Carter street mechanical pump in my mach with the 408. I have yet to run out of fuel yet as far as I can tell. Stock lines and all.

I ran my 331 sixpack motor with a Purolator 30 gal/hr electric pump. Never had it starve for fuel because the pump was too small. It did once from a clogged filter. Changed filter, problem solved.
