fuel pump recommendations
 
Hi guys. What are you using for fuel pumps. Looking for 150-160gph. I currently have a Holley HP150. I street drive it so it may see 1.5 hours of street driving at a time. Noise is also another consideration. The HP150 has been enough pump and it's not too loud. But it failed and I'm looking for options.

I like Product Engineering due to the fact they are rated continuous duty for the street. Kinda pricey, but get what you pay for.

We just did Dragweek with the wife's car. We have a Mallory 140 pump with a return style regulator. Worked great, it's quiet, and affordable. Set pressure at 6.5 lbs and it never bounced, fluctuated at all.

Had this before the PE pumps. Gotta agree good pump for the money.

Another Mallory 140 here..I normally drive 100 miles to the track..I do replace the brushes each spring..I also have a older style Mallory 140 with access to the brushes from the outside...and I run it deadheaded for now..

Thanks guys. I have been running the HP150 for a long time. I'm not dissatisfied with the pump. But we had one finally fail this week and am wondering what are some options. Are the Mallory pumps easy to repair?

I don't like Mallory anything, but I had a 140 dead headed with NOS on a big block Chevy putting out about 550 horse before the NOS and it never gave a stitch of trouble. It worked flawlessly.

I've been running a Mallory 140 for 10 years or more. I had to put brushes in it once after running it for a couple years on a deadhead regulator. I switched over to a bypass regulator and haven't had any problems with it since. Hundreds of passes and thousands of miles including 3 Drag Weeks.

I had a Mallory 140 with supplied return style reg in the blue car when it went 6.20's/9.70's.

Also used a Mallory 140 dead headed in my 78 for almost 20 years had to replace it once.

Yes. You can get a complete rebuild kit for one that comes with everything you need including the sealed bearing and brushes for about $50 or brush kits for about $20. I have one that is 15 years old that I just took off the wife car that was dead headed and replaced with a new 140 return style when we did Dragweek. I had never put brushes in that pump until I rebuilt it to take for a spare. Internally, the pump was in great shape.
Take the extra time and a few extra bucks and go to a return style setup if you drive the car on the street at all.
