Low Pressure Electric Fuel Pump

I'm considering putting an electric fuel pump on my 52 flathead to replace the stock mechanical pump. What pumps are you guys running? I was considering the Holley Mighty Mite. Its compact and doesn't need a regulator. Any one using one? Or something else?

Thanks,

Dave

Its subpar and not something you want if reliability and noise is a concern. If you want reliable and low pressure get a solenoid style pump. Something like the Airtex E8090 or similar.

6v or 12v? I've been using the Airtex E8016S (12v) for about 12 yrs, with a Holley 12-804 regulator. Has been totally reliable, altho the regulator did blow a diaphragm. Holley sells a replacement diaphragm kit, so no big deal.
