Mechanical Fuel Pumps
Anyone using mechanical fuel pumps for blower applications?
I am presently running an Edelbrock #1712 that pumps 130 gph.
It would be easier to stay with the mechanical style but am open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

I ran the stock Merc mechanical pump on my blower motor. B&M 250, Dominator 1050. Fuel pressure was always great and never dropped off.
130gpm...tat a hell of alot of fuel. Whats that need for fuel lines, 3" ID?

Im using the Carter Competition Series pump (PN# M61045) that is rated 172GPH@8psi and requires no regulator.
The body was also drill and tapped for larger fittings.
Twin 750's on top 10-71's

used mech.pumps on almost everything as long as it has pressure and volume ,,BOTH !
Stay away from 90 degree fittings as they cut flow in half at the fittings ,
The set up depends on RPM's as well ,,,6000 and 540 the mech should be fine just rember volume not just pressure
Holley pressure regulators only have a 130 thou. hole to flow fuel so use a mallory or barry grant and if you can run a return reg . .....line from reg.back to tank this keeps fuel cool and saves pump from dead heading ,its easy with mallory reg.
