Has anyone used an EDELBROCK SBC STREET FUEL PUMP #1721
In there car? What i was wondering if you had to do any mods to make it fit.I know yo have to get rid of the return line to the gas tank cause it doesnt have it on the fuel pump.Im using the fuel pump on a carbed 350 with no computer....
Thanks

 

I have one on mine. No real mods but you'll have to experiment on how to get it to fit, cause of the triangle brace that kinda interferes. You'll need to be real creful on where to rusn the lines also, cause the steering runs real close. I didn't pay attention the first time and ended up ripping off the fuel line first time I turned the wheels. DOH!

Don't waste your time with the bottom feed adapter, it won't work and is near impossible to get to seal properly.

 

Ha Ha, that was the only way I could get the Edelbock(Older Carter) pump to work (AN fittings!), was with that bottom feed.
Never sealed, always leaked. This caused my car not to get over 5000 rpms.

The newer Holley pumps are the way good. It allows you to offset the input & output, unlike the Edelbrock in which the 'in & out' are directly across from each other.

BTW: I do believe these pumps are replacing the older ones sold under the Edelbrock name. You'll notice that the top hafes are almost identical.

I had the EXACT same problem with mine. I've since switched to a Carter mechanical and electrical setup.
