Which brand fuel pump should I get for my 350?

Im on Rockauto and there are 5 or 6 pumps available and I dont know which brand to buy? Can you help me?

here are the choices
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,c...ogle.com+Search+for+1973+BUICK+LESABRE+CUSTOM

or maybe some other source


Mine has no A/C so just has one input and one output tit. I also need to make a fuel line because I have a section of fuel hose bridging the gap at the carb and at the fuel pump to gas tank line. I read on another thread that that is a fire waiting to happen and that no self respecting v8buick guy should have a set up like that. Also no glass filters which I dont have so Im ok in that department.

I have a double flaring tool for brake lines which I have made in decades past so I guess I will use that unless there are objections.

Thank you

If I was ordering one I'd go with the Carter pump, only because the pump is in the correct position in the picture:Brow:

 

There is often a section of rubber fore and aft to allow flex in the system. [ near gas tank & near engine ]

Ive considered going to electric, summit has an AC electric pump, I already have a 7psi kill switch for one. [ if engine dies, pump turns off ]

 

AC Delco pump with a new line in the OE steel from Inline Tube or pretty much any buick vendor has them also, not worth the time making one

 

That would be nice if I didnt have to make one, Ill check it out thanks.

 

I'm not sure it specifies very well but I believe the lines from the mechanical pump to the carb are different from 2bbl to 4 bbl. Just an FYI.

 

Yes, the Q-Jet fitting is in the front of the carburetor and the 2GC is on the passenger's side.

 

I just went through the 2 to 4 barrel swap. Ended up getting a new fuel pump due to the line fitting placement on the pump.

Here's the pump i picked up:

I used this line for the quadrajet:

This info works if you have a non A/C 4 barrel car. I based mine off a 1968 Skylark.

Ive got 1973 lesabre with 1970 quadrajet that decodes for a 350 with Automatic trans. It has a rather long fuel filter housing that is of course facing forward. Ill try to find the line for the 1970 350. And then another thing I may start a thread on it is what to do with my charcoal cannister. I think that came out in 71. So I have lines coming from the tank that go into the charcoal cannister. I think its supposed to go on a tit on the carb but there is no such tit because its a 1970 carb. I thini it goes to off idle port on the carb so as not to affect the idle mixture. Any advise?

 

Does your fuel pump look like the one i posted?
