buZy Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Hey I need an electric fuel pump that is QUIET when running under full pressure. Does anyone know of a pump that accomplishes this feat???? Does such a thing exist? My 71' 240z is powered by a 327 chev which puts out about 380 HP max. Currently im running the typical "Blue" Holley electric pump which makes a ton of noise. Yes I have rubber mounted it many times, in many ways, trying to reduce the noise. No such luck. This "Blue" pump design is almost 30 years old! With techonlogy so advanced since then I would think there is something better these days. Being my motor is not a high HP application I dont need a purge return line, could almost not run a pressure regulator if I choose but I will anyways of course. The common mistake most people make is to install a pump that way too overkill for the application. Any help would be great! Thanks! "Remember, only YOU can prevent terrorism."

strotter Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I'll be watching this thread - I have a '72 (also 327 - cool!) with and MSD pump, the buzzing is driving me nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Mallory comp 110 is very quiet. I can bearly tell its is running with the engine off! The Mallory comp 140 is a little louder than the 110 and requires a regulator. I hate those holley pumps too! Loud as hell!! The 110 should be enough fuel for your 327. I ran a 110 for years on my 400+hp 362 cid with a 750 holley carb and 7K shift points with out any problems. However, be ready to pay 180.00 for the 110 and 230.00 for the 140.

Phantom Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Only time I ever hear my fuel pump is when it pressurizes my lines just before I start it up. Got it from Johns Cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buZy Posted July 19, 2004 Author Share Posted July 19, 2004 Hey Pyro, Thanks for the information. I'll check one of those pumps out. I think the Mallory 110 would be enough for my 327. Yes the pumps are not cheap but to get rid of the 'buzz' will make the car much more comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
