Help me pick a fuel pump, AFPR, and rockers...

I was looking at the Holley in-tank fuel pump for my new 383....anyone have experience with this one. Any other suggestions for intank pumps. Also which AFPR is easiest to adjust? Finally I want to get roller tip rockers that will not interfere with stock valve covers. Who has some that will work?

I forgot to mention that the rockers should not be self aligning because my AFR heads have pushrod guide plates.

i'd run comp rockers, the full needle bearing ones. for a fuel pump i'd consider an external eletric. i have a holley on my car. more work to mount but lot easier to change if there's a problem.

I really wanted to keep it internal, but I'll consider it.

As far as the AFPR goes I have a holley that I am going to be installing tomorrow. I personally think that it is going to be the easiest to adj because it has a flat top that you turn with your hand with no wrench at all.

Yeah... that holley looks like a nice design. I would like to know how it works out for you. That has always been the thing with the adjustable regulators. Trying to reach the nut or allen screw to turn them. The one I had on my TBI on the RS was the hardest to reach. The TPI system on the IROC is easyer.

I was thinking of using a piece of sheet metal. Knurling the outer rim and brazing it to the nut on my adjustable one.

Take Mike's advice and get that Walbro 255. I bought mine from Ron over at APE also, and it is in fact $93. The Holley pump is actually a Walbro pump, only difference is it comes in a Holley box and has the Holley price.

Ok I ordered my Walbro pump today and I'm going to get the Holley AFPR....I've heard about their ease of adjustment too. Now I just have to decide on those rockers.
