Electric Fuel pump recommendations

[1971 Gran Coupe]

I am looking at putting on an electric fuel pump for one of my Challengers. It is a 383 car and does not get a lot of attention, and know that an electric fuel pump would insure a faster start after sitting by getting fuel back to the car before even cranking. I would by pass the mechanical pump and plumb it directly to the carb. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

i use a Holley Red... but you should check specs to make sure you get the right one for your application... recommend upgraded fuel filter and pressure gauge

Mallory 110 , far quieter & more reliable than Holley

Here's a link to charge pumps. Keep your mechanical pump and install one of these with a inline fuse and momentary switch. It's a lot safer that way. In case of a accident or roll over the electric pump won't keep feeding gas. It's only used when necessary. Electric primer pump for fuel

re: "electric pump won't keep feeding gas"... you can install a low pressure cut off inline at the oil pressure sensor so the fuel pump cuts off if oil pressure drops out.

Yes you can. So could I but we don't know if the op can do that sort of thing. It doesn't sound like he needs a electric pump but just a primer.

I am following all the great suggestions and from the looks of it, this will help others with similar conditions. I appreciate all those who have chimed in, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some things to consider is where you put an electric (preferably) somewhere below the fuel tank as close to the tank as possible, a fuel pressure regulator, whether you use ethanol gas and it sits around a lot (I use a Holley black pump) and I understand that it's a good idea to have filters before and after the pump. Buy large flow rate filters.
