Rotary fuel pump

I have the Empi square box pump that is noisy and seems to suck for gas----meaning it clicks a lot more than just when the car is first started and does not have fuel pressure.
Anyone had experience with them. Brand---where to find?

I've got a rotary pump from CB performance. Much quieter, and puts out the right fuel pressure for Webers/Dellortos

I'm using the same pump as Jon R.

I had that little block Facet pump and it lasted about an hour before the clicking got to me.

The rotary pump whines a little, even with a rubber mount, but I can't hear it at all when the engine's running.

Ditto, 10+ years on the car and works great.

Thanks guys; I just knew if I waited long enough,I would hear the proes and cons on fuel pumps. I just could't make up my feeble mind on which one to get. You guys are the best when it comes for getting parts your not quite sure will last or work. Being some what deaf I don't I would notice any clicking, but I just couldn't make up my mind as to which type. Thanks abain fellas.

I ditto Ray's words. I wil look at the CB web site.
Hey Ray, when are you heading down to Knotts? Four cars---at least will be coming from the NW and will get to Sacto on the Thursday I would say about noon---depending on the number of Molson's Henry is bringing down. Want to join us if it suits your schedule?

I have a rotary pump right now and it works great for the dual Weber 1914, but don't overlook the Holley pumps either. The red or blue are very strong and will let you "grow" in your engine choices. With a regulator you can use the blue pump on everything from a stock VW engine to a two+ liter turbo, to a SBC. For the turbo, we just drilled/tapped the upper bell shaped top piece for a barb and connected it down stream for a boost sensitive regulator.

Just a thought, since you're buying new.

Luck,

Hey Ralph; Thats sounds good but I might try to catch Bruce and the gang but I don't have a schedual yet , but I will post ,and hooking up with you sounds great.

Ray! Won't you be the only one driving? I understand Bruce et al are schlepping their cars. Where is the excitement---the adventure of a possible breakdown. Changing leaders. EIther way, contact me off line or just post somewhere. Two Silver Speeders---all right.

Ralph,

Guess you weren't around last year when the engine in my Speedy decided to go south, litterly, because of an over zealous mechanic in Medford. He rerouted the external oil filter lines until they rested on the header, Viola, Engine went "Bang" on the Grapevine, downhill portion yet. I arrived at the Marriott in Rick Davis's Speedy with a case of Molson on my lap! So when a couple of really neat people, Angela and Steve offered me a trailer ride, the memories came flooding back. In a heartbeat I said, "YES". Actually since Angela will be booting the Spyder down to Knotts, at some point we might want to switch trailer queens and I may arrive in the Red Peril. We'll see, in any case we'll have an option. I did make it within about 50 miles of Knotts last year, so that and my advanced age should count for something, LOL.

Bruce.
The trouble with email is it is not possible to see the tonque in cheek. It was of course your disaster that I was referring to and if yoiu do not think I am a little nervous driving a fresh engine to Knotts, well that makes one of us. If I coiuld caravan with a group with the way HD riders did when Amfac put out the product---with a van and trailer behind to pick up the parts and bikes I would jump on it. I don't think my ride has gone 200 miles without some problem but then it is old and does have some miles on it.
Ralph
Ps. Remeber I was chasing you thru that gorgeous southern Oregon wine country. I would say that to say we were driving briskly would be an understatement if you asked those who rode shotgun. (Is it not funny how the ride in the passenger seat is so much quicker than when one is in control)

Where do you guys have your fuel pumps mounted; near the fuel tank or engine compartment?

I have mine mounted up front away from all the heat.

BD

Yeah, me too......passenger side, just ahead of the footwell bulkhead and beneath the fuel tank. Hose goes from tank, through an in-line filter and on to the pump (got another filter in the back before the carbs, too). BTW: Running 3/8" gas line end-to-end.
