I think it's like this one, https://www.summitracing.com/parts/crt-p4070

It's actually the original one I bought.  I'd have to dig out an invoice to check and it may not be available anymore.  I tried a version that should have produced a couple more psi but it didn't seem to.  When that one failed, i put this one back on.  That higher pressure unit lasted 4 or 5 years and the failure seems to have been the pump's internal regulator because it was then producing so much pressure that my external regulator could not control the pressure, resulting in the carb flooding.

Each of them were Made in the USA.  So that's a plus although hat doesn't necessarily mean that they still are.

Deyomatic- I’m pretty sure mine is just fuel related because it starts good when cold the next day. I did a lot of reading and it seem this is to be expected with edelbrock /carter carbs when they haven’t been used for a few days/week at a time.

Charlie- thanks, that looks like a good pump with good reviews.


I’m thinking because it’s a rotary vein pump and going off Daniels past experience, I’ll just wire this carter pump up using a toggle switch for priming the carb. Happy to hear suggestions or other ideas! Thanks to all that have commented!


Thanks, Dennis.

Kultulz- as far as I’m aware it’s not ethanol laced fuel, its 98octane. I don’t know much about fuel though!

I didn't realize you are from OZ -

It should be marked at the pump.

I'm organizing some stuff and came across both boxes for the fuel pumps.  The one I linked is the one I originally bought and is currently installed.

The one that failed was P4594.  I wouldn't write that one off as a bad part because of one unique failure.  If that is the only one available in your area, for some reason, it will be ok.  The big difference is that with P4070 (the link) which is rated at 4psi, you shouldn't need a regulator for a modern carb but for P4594, 5-9psi, you might.
