Mechanical Fuel Pump choices
Hi all-
I did a quick search on this, but didn't find anything...
I went to start my truck while it was about -20 here in IA, and it started, but the cold made the fuel pump fail. I am in the process of a 4bbl conversion, and I want to upgrade the fuel pump while I'm at it, even though I understand the stock one will supply a 4bbl sufficiently, at least if the rest of the engine is stock.
I don't need the best there is, so I have been looking at getting a Carter mechanical pump, but don't know if they have a good reputation or not.
Anybody have knowledge of these pumps, or knowledge of what would be a better solution for roughly the same amount of money?
Thanks in advance for any information-
Andy

Thanks for the reply-
I agree on not spending a lot for a pump on a stock engine, but wanted to "upgrade" because I am planning some engine work in the future that could take advantage of a bigger pump- Nothing radical, but enough to tax the stock fuel system.
I'm still pretty new to Fords, so I am unsure of what products have a good reputation, and which don't-
Thanks again,
Andrew
