Lewis Maudlin Posted September 6, 2001 Share Posted September 6, 2001 I posted a rather popular topic when I started questioning the need for the vapor tank. Well, I took my tank off and relined it with POR-15. I also pitched my HOLLEY BLUE FUEL PUMP because it was too darn loud. Instead, I got a CARTER 5 psi pump. Many people commented on the merits of each. Having owned both, I think that I am now qualified to give my opinion. THE CARTER FUEL PUMP IS UNQUESTIONABLY BETTER FOR A STREET DRIVEN CAR. The Holley was at least 5 times as loud as the CARTER. Yes, the Carter only has 5psi, but Holley carbs run great at 3 psi. anything more than 5 or 6 and you have too much. That is all of the pressure that a normally aspirated car wants. Again, the HOLLEY WAS AT LEAST 5 TIMES AS LOUD AS THE CARTER!!! Also, with the 5 psi CARTER, I could clean up my engine compartment by removing the Holley regulator. What a deal. If anyone is interested in a slightly used Holley fuel pump, I have one to sell. I am sticking with CARTER. By the way, I don't have stock in either company and I like my Holley carb, I am just so much happier with my Carter pump than that super loud Holley.

Mike C Posted September 6, 2001 Share Posted September 6, 2001 I also have both and agree. (Which was my comment on the other post)In my experience, the Carter will last longer as well AND, it's cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
