i am using an electric fuel pump on my 239 flatmotor, converted to 12v. neg ground. i like having the electric fuel pump but it is quite noise. at idle it is louder than the engine. are there pumps out there that are not so loud? thanks, dick r.

 

Dick, you need a louder exhaust system. Seriously, I am using a Holley standard pressure red electric pump. Seems fairly quiet. It puts out 7 psi and does not require a pressure regulator. I have it mounted on rubber isolator blocks so it does not vibrate.

 

my pump is the round style with a rubber mounted clamp that keep's it fairly quiet ..is yours frame mounted or on the firewall?? frame mount is much better ..and I run a regulator to knock the pressure to 2.5 lb..

 

I think I have the same one as Ken, Auto Zone #E8016S. Besides the rubber clamp around it, it is on a cantilever bracket that is mounted on rubber shock biscuits, and with rubber hose segments in/out. It makes noise until it builds pressure, then is very quiet.

 

you know it will be quieter when you get the door's and front fenders on ....

 

i do have the doors, fenders, etc. on. i'm going to try the rubber block mount. i'm going to do one similar to the 3 to 2 metal master cyl mount. i'll blind bolt the pump to a 1/2" rubber block, then i'll do 2 add't bolts to bolt the block to frame.

 

I was looking at your ..avitar? and saw the project ..and had to make a comment..look's like you have gotten a lot done..verry nice.

 

ken, the avatar was the state of the f1 on april 1, we than had to take a break and fix my brother in laws '49 ch**y pickup that got rearended last sept after just two months on the road. we work 2 days a week, we started back on the f1 memorial day weekend and finished last sunday. i'm packing my summer driving into two months of fall driving. thanks for the pos comments. dick r

 

Cut out a section of old tire to use for an isolator...works great and the price is right. Al Gore will love you for it too...very GREEN.
