I've heard great things about those. Had a chance to get one several years back and I didn't. Awesome score.

Thanks!
A 1776cc with dual 40 Webers can use a stock fuel pump or the Elec fuel pump is better?
This is what I have on the 59 when I took it out.

I've used both. I've never had a problem with either one. Bigger, or crazy heads and cam you would need the electric, but I wouldnt worry about it

Agreed... For almost 5 years now, I have been using a Holley Red like that on my 2387 -- and it has been dependable. It's definitely noisy, tho.

Honestly, I think it's overkill on anything short of a true high HP race/drag car setup.

I'm suspecting that a plain ol' Facet electric (quiet, no regulator needed) or even the stock mechanical pump would probably do the trick.... even if it's a big CC stroker like mine. One of these days, I'm gonna try out the Facet electric that I carry for a spare.

I ran a stock fuel pump on my 2110 for years without any issues...

I'm running a Holley Red with the 2276 now.

Thanks for the Info. Was not sure if I want stock fuel pump or elec fuel pump. Just order some parts for the engine and it almost done. Will do the body dustless blast next month and primer. The body work and paint still up the air. Still don't know if I want to drop off at the shop or do it myself. :hillbilly:
