I use the Mitzuba fuel pump. Never failed and don't need a regulator. It does supply 120 L/h.

Chris,
these are dirt cheap in north america. The site has a price but we can get them cheaper at napa etc.

Interesting about the regulator.I was planning on buying that pump and running it with the filter king reg. Now I only am running twin SU's with a mod motor. My question is .Will $PSI and all that volume overwhelm the carbs if I don't run the filter king? Any ideas?
 
do you have to use an aftermarket fuel pump if you convert to Weber carbs (32/36 DGV's to be specific) or can you use the stock fuel pump?
 
No you don't have to. In fact I think a couple of members are running triple carbs with the stock.
 
I have three of those same pumps sitting on a shelf in my garage. Two came on a TR8 race car I bought and one was on a BMW 2002 with twin 40 DCOEs I had. They seemed to work very well. I also have several Facet pumps that I don't like. Both race cars now run a Barry Grant fuel pump with a regulator. Expensive, but they work great.
 
Mad Max- I think Mr. Panic has a street machine and probably would do fine. Unless everything else is hot too then all bets are off!

I had misfire on high revs with the standard pump.

I did some more reading about the Carter gp4070 fuel pump...seems like many people are fond of it.

Summit Racing carries it for $69.95...also available from Summit through their Amazon outlet for the same price.

While I was on Amazon, I was surprised to find that a search for Triumph Spitfire returned a LOT of items.

Since I am installing a DCOE on my 1500, I ordered the pump. Now I reckon I'll need to make a cover plate for my mech pump.

Len, you can either make a cover plate, or just leave the stock mechanical pump in place. I found the cover plate to be a convenient spot to add an addditional crankcase breather.

I read somewhere, it might have been in More B.S. About TRs, that, if you're going to bypass the mechanical pump, you should remove it. I think the reasoning was that the mechanical pump needs the fuel flowing through it for cooling, and, without it, will fry.

Besides, it's easy to make a cover plate out of scrap aluminum. Or whatever you have lying around.
