If I was going to run a carburated alky setup who are some suggested belt driven fuel pumps? I know Aeromotive makes a pump and Ron's fuel injection.

PS. do you have to run a belt driven pump with an alky carb?

you can run electric, but they are not reliable IMO.................pumps wear out fast and not the ideal way to control the pressure the carb likes. I have only dealt with the Ron's stuff.........cell really needs to be in front but with a carb setup rear cell should be ok.

Even though I don't run an alky setup or a carb I do run a belt drive pump (it's actually mounted on the rear of my peterson oil pump). I have an aeromotive pump with a cell mounted in the rear and it works great. LARGE feed and return lines are needed because that pump moves a lot of fuel.

I have a hillborn pump I would let go of that I was running with my carb set up. Its the best way to go you also free up your battery usage a bit.

That's why we switched. Weldon 2345's use a ton of juice and that's what we had before.

Well, let's see if we can't make a deal!
