I am in the middle of rigging up some carbs on my car and was wondering what fuel pumps people use? Can I just swap over the current pump for a holley one that provides less pressure or do I have to remove the one inside the tank as well? I only intend to run 4.5 psi fuel pressure so if anyone has experience doing this I would be very grateful for some advice.
Thanks

I'd try removing the external pump altogether and see if the internal pump provides enougn flow and pressure.

I've used the Facet pump mentioned above on carb cars many times with great success. It will be a good alternative if the in tank pump cannot handle the job.
