Stock 1600 dual port motor, stock 34 pict 3 carb, switching to an electric fuel pump, questions:
Bought a "Mr. Gasket" fuel pump at autozone, It works but is LOUD. Is this normal?
Are these just loud or crap? Would a Facet one like everyone in the Vdub mags sell be a better choice? Holley, although expensive, is it the best?
Also, is a fuel pressure regulator needed with all electric fuel pumps?
And please, don't suggest i just run stock, I will be turboing my motor down the road and wish to go ahead and get the electric setup done, also I am running a complete MSD setup, so it won't fit. Thanks for your help. |

go find some thick rubber and make a mount from that.
and yes, they are all VERY loud.
this is why we have loud exhausts :wink: |

| I installed a cb rotary in my bug and it isn't loud at all. Some slight humming when I start it up but otherwise nice. It is self regulated to right at 3lbs so no external is needed on my 2110.... |

is it hard mounted or insulated?
if its insulated, it will be much quieter, like a fish tank bubbler. |

| If you are gonna turbo it later get the holley with a reg that way you dont have to worry about that box pump being able to keep up |

Mr.Gasket is to V-8 parts as Empi is to VW parts, el junko de Walley mart. When that cheap pump takes a dump on you far from home thats going to become one expensive fuel pump.
Buy a decent pump, inline rotary is the best along with a holley regulator and be done with it. Particularly if you plan to upgrade later on. |

This is crappy pic, but a pair of 80's watercooled VW radiator mounts work perfect for insulating those type of pumps.
I'm using a Facet pump to run a fuel injected case in my Bus temporarily. Still a little noise, but much better than solid mounting. |
