TPI Inline pump recommendation?

I need a recommendation for a TPI fuel pump. I am swapping in TPI and I am looking for a good fuel pump for a good price. Anyone recommend one? I don't need super high GPH, just enough to supply a stockish 350.

I have seen the Holley for $160 and a Walbro for $120ish. I was looking for something a little cheaper if possible, but I want a pump that will last. I was wondering if anyone knew of an OE application that could work. Thanks

Harley

Carter makes an OEM pump that runs about $70. You can get it at just about any parts store. I'm currently using that one in my TPI, and It works great.

Do you mean a inline as out of tank? as a 2nd pump? Or do you plan to remove your intake and go extranal only?

Id just get a walbro and drop it in your tank. Just incase you deside to do some mods down the road.

its a good pump.

I pulled my intake pump and have a Extranal T-Rex pump.

If your gonna keep the intank pump you mid as well get a good one. Most of us on the boards know how much of a PITA it is to install a fuel pump on our cars.

I was going to get a walbro pump myself and stick it in the tank but I dont need that much pressure. I am running carb so I plan on getting a carbed car tank pickup and running a holley blue electric pump in-line somewhere.

Actually I don't have an intank pump. I am swapping TPI into an 85 GMC Jimmy 4x4. I am looking for a stand alone external pump to mount near the fuel tank. Thanks.

Is that Carter OE pump an external?

I got the accel pump from summit. part # ACC-74701 I've been really happy with it since my TPI swap. Some people don't like external fuel pumps because of the noise they make but I can barely hear this one except for when I go to start the car. Of course my exhaust could have something to do with that. Its $145 so its not cheap, but a TPI swap isn't cheap.
