<VV> Fuel pump question

[BBRT]

You can buy a inexpensive pump for less than $30 at your FLAPS.  They are 
"square" as opposed to round and tubular.  They come in at least two 
different strengths; maybe American and metric... I use two on #73 behind 
and below the fuel tank/cell.  No problems - knock on wood - in 8yrs.

You can buy a Holley red-which is for carbs for about $110 list. I have two 
of these on the #89. The new one I bought last year to replace one, failed 
this year. However, they are "rebuildable" at least you can remove check 
valve and screen and clean, polish-remove any corrosion. You can also take 
the bottom pump portion off and there are kits for this.

These are both low pressure.  Both feed a half inch line after filters 
(between pump and fuel tank) to junction block in engine compartment and 
then to carbs: Rochester on one and Webers on the other..  I think the cheap 
ones are fine.
