Default Re: stock appearing big block chevy fuel pump

Hey Mike,
On my 69 z28 I am running a Holly vf mechanical. It does not look stock if someone looks at it closely but unless someone is picking you apart , at a show or otherwise, you should be satisfied with it's performance and appearance. I think it's rated at 130 gp. The " Holly " label can be easily removed. The stock gm small block pump could not keep up on the dyno. The Holly hv pump did handle a 480 hp 302 as well as the electric that the dyno operator had.
As far as big block mechanical is concerned I am looking for a good factory replacement also. I figured we would try a Holly hv mechanical also. My 69 big block car has 1/2 " from the tank forward. Clearance at the crossmember is the problem. ( A Carter hv will not clear ).
