I bought the best one NAPA had 6 years ago and all is still good. AND I sometimes have to settle for ethanol gas.

Re: what fuel pump is best?
there seems to be some confusion as to what fuel pump to use. some go for one that pumps 10,000 LPM while others have a car that is stock. and their only concern is buying a quality stock replacement. be it a TPI car, or a TB set up. so the question is; whats the best stock replacement for a TPI car? or for a TB set up? most aren't building a 9 second drag car, theyre just trying to drive what they have on the street.SO lets keep it stock street driven cars for this question.

Rusty, are you saying "a stroked 305, Dart heads, Comp Cam, HSR intake, adjustable regulator and 24lb injectors" is stock, or are you saying a Walbro is too much for stock? My post was suggesting two things, to read up on a few other threads that will help him make a decision, and, without saying it, a Walbro pump.

I can't see a 335, with good cam and heads, exceeding much more than a stockish Walbro could deliver, many have put out good times with built up 350's and 383's with the factory pump, and never had fuel starvation.
I think the big pumps are best suited for those maybe boosting, or spraying.
Heck, GM's had mechanical pumps on BBC's putting out 450 HP and near 600 FT/Lb of torque back in the day...same pump they used on a 250 HP smogger BBC.

Re: what fuel pump is best?
Agree for sure Rusty...I guess I was replying to your post about seperating needs.
The Walbro I'm referring to is about 60/70 plus 8 for it's screen...made in USA...and is a good choice (IMO) over a AC Delco made in China, Mexico, etc...I wasn't referring to the 255?l Walbro pump.
In effect, agreeing with your earlier reply
