[DeTomaso] Holley Red Fuel Pump

[Will Kooiman]

Use one filter and put it after the pump.  Go to a race shop that
specializes in dirt track.  Our local speed shop - Smiley's Racing - has
some really nice filters.  They consist of an aluminum tube with a fitting
on each end.  The tube gets filled with a fine wire mesh.

I've tried several pumps.  I prefer mechanical.  They don't tend to fail.  I
have an electric Carter right now, but I'm thinking about trying the Rob
Macquarie pump.  It sure looks like a nice pump.  You can find it on the 335
engine forum.

If you have a Windsor block, you have several choices for nice mechanical
pumps.  The Cleveland doesn't have as many choices.

Holley Reds are known for going out.  It hasn't happened to me, but that's
what I've heard.

Will.

My dyno run shows the car is lean above 3000 rpm.  When we disconnected the
fuel line with the ignition on the gas was sluggish and sputtered.  Thus I
have a fuel delivery issue.  They said the pump (Holley Red) is bad for sure
as it was so pulsatile and sluggish, not just a bad filter.
What do most guys have as  a fuel pump?  I have read Carter may be better
and is less noisy.  
I was told to put a filter after the tank and after the pump plus a
regulator.  I recall reading on this forum only one filter is typical????

Thanks
Clay
