Can the CARTER pump be mounted too close to the OEM? I know it believed it should be as close to the tank as possible for optimum "lift and feed" performance. But can it be too close and cause damage to the OEM pump? Thanks in advance.

Note: I planned on trying the AEROMOTIVE, but with Cookie, Guzzle and company feeling good with the CARTER I went with it today. Got a decent price from NAPA so I'm ready.

 

I can't see how having the carter close to the stock pump could damage it. It's a low pressure pump I think it's only rated at 15 psi. Mine is within about a foot of the stock pump with no issues so far.

 

I agree. From a "stock pump longevity" perspective I don't see a problem....Are you drawing through a pre-filter, or is it just to save wear and tear on the stocker?

 

Thanks Clulx. I was starting to wonder if anybody was going to answer. I checked your gallery, do you happen to have a pic of the where/how you mounted it?

 

Hey Cookie, you must have posted while I was answering Clux.

I'm just pulling through a see-through NAPA filter before the CARTER and then pushing straight through to the OEM pump. The reason is I'm running a modified Kwik version of the "bleed-off" fuel system. The orifice I used is from O'Keefe, it's a .008 mounted on top of the T fitting then through a see through filter and tapped into the return line in the fender well (same place as Kwik). I want to run the CARTER just to help the OEM out since I now have the orifice. The system works great as far a cackle goes, and I'm only into it about $100. I still get smoke at WOT in the 80 econo setting.

 

There's a photo in the misc. pictures in my gallery, I think.

 

Should last close to forever in that set-up.
