[DeTomaso] Fuel Pump recommendations

[cengles at cox.net]

  Dear Rob,

                I have used a mundane off the shelf stock replacement 
from AutoZone made by Carter, I believe.   It worked fine at the track 
with a mild engine and did fine on the streets and highway.

            If you've got a big engine with high output then it is now 
very difficult to fine hipo fuel pumps.  You cannot find the hipo Holley 
fuel pump any more at Summit nor Jeg's.   I did see in a recent catalog 
from Competition Parts a generic hipo fuel pump for the Cleveland 
engine.

             If you really have a serious engine then the McRobb fuel 
pump for about $300 is the way to go unless you want to convert to an 
electric fuel pump to run the carb.

                               Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
