Is there a fuel pump available for a y-block without vacuum assist? If so, what year and model vehicle would I order it for? Dave V.

Any of the early FE's will work. I run a pump for a 60's 427 hipo on mine. Chuck

Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

Chuck I'm using an FE fuel pump now and it puts out too much pressure(8psi). I installed a Holley fuel pressure regulator to keep the Holley carb from flooding the engine. Had it set to 4.5psi and was working good for 1000 miles. Now the regulator keeps losing adjustment and the carb is flooding the engine again. Would rather go back to a Y-block fuel pump and maybe an Edelbrock carb. Dave V

Since Ford went to electric wipers after '61, a '62 292 pump would be non-vacuum assist. Check your local parts store.

I'm no expert, but would have thought that the Holley could have been set up to take the higher pressures.

re: Flooding. Pressure may not be the whole issue, check the needles and seats and add a clean fuel filter after the pump, before the carb.

As far as having a filter after the pump, is it possible that the FE pump and pressure regulator are not compatible with modern fuels causing rubber contaminants to cause problems in the float needle and seat? Dave V

Use the pump listed for a '64 292 truck. It has a cartridge filter on it also.

Dave VIt's possible, but not likely. Many of us run rebuilt FE pumps with little problem. Most likely the problem is a contaminated fuel tank or a carp that needed to be cleaned and rebuilt

I had the 427 hipo pump on my Vicky for years and through way too many engine swaps. The only problem I found is the need for an electric pusher pump at the tank when I make a pass with the McCullouch supercharger. I was running out of fuel at the high RPM side of 2d gear. So I don't think the pump is the problem. Chuck
