Best electric fuel pump for Weber DGV carb

[lbcfan]

I'm trying to decide between a Carter P4070 (rotary vane) vs a Facet Posi-flow solenoid-type pump for a bugeye.

I have a Weber DGV carburetor which I understand does better with the Carter pump, but the Carter draws 4.5 amps vs 1.6 for the Facet. I can barely keep the headlights lit with the generator now.

Any thoughts on the relative advantages of the two? Both are maximum 4 psi.

Thanks in advance.

Get the Airtex E8016S Electric Fuel Pump, its QUIET unlike the Facet, low pressure, and a good price.

Double check, but I am 99% sure thats the one I got, rated at 2-4psi.

Well- it would go with the rest of the car...

Many thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into the rollervane type.

The rollervane runs too high of psi, you will overrun the carb. You have to keep it 2-4psi

This pump lists for $42 on amazon, I believe it was $49 shipped which is a great deal.
