Fuel pump, injector upgrade?
My fuel pump is leaking from the weep hole and needs to be replaced.
I am going to be doing injectors soon. (beans stage 1 or 2's)
Is there a upgrade for the original carter pump? Should I upgrade anything else to run these injectors?
Thanks for any help.

You are OK with a stock pump for those injectors. I would shim the FPR (fuel pressure regulator). All you need is a 3/16 Ball bearing. Be sure to check your fuel pressure afterwards to be sure it's not too high. The fuel pressure gage will bounce like crazy but you will be aqble to average the bounce. No more than ~80 lbs. Search this forum for FPR shim and fuel pump replacement for a lot of good tips. If you have any questions or trouble come back here and get some help. Lots of good, knowlegeable guys here.

i run my 1's on a stock fuel pump.
your other options are electric.
ryan bean has a kit that is close to 1,000
or you can piece it together yourself for like 600-700. but finding the pieces are a little tough.
