I am looking to install an Electric Fuel Pump in my 1967 LeMans,455. This is a daily driver. Please give me your opinions.

If it's a stock or mildly modified engine, the Carter #P4594 works very well. It produces 72 gph and 7 psi. Also, the Mallory #4110 is a very good electric fuel pump. At 110 gph and 7 psi, this pump can support more horsepower than the Carter. Neither pump requires a fuel pressure regulator, which makes installation easier. They're both reliable and fairly quiet -- the Mallory probably wouldn't even be heard at all with the engine running. Hope this helps!

Ponchopete's choices are good but i've experienced problems with the rubber components "swelling" on the Carter pump. After two went bad, I switched to a Holly with a regulator. Neither the factory or I can say why. Don't forget to install a rollover switch just in case.
