Review on Airtex E8012S Cadmium Gold Fuel by Brian Rivera

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent value for money on soft carb engines

Very glad I chose this option for my car over the larger crankcase/canister pumps often found on older American cars. Absolutely no whining or buzzing in my app, just a little prone to vibration (a reset would probably improve this). carburetor. I supplied the pump with a universal relay kit "Synonyms: (Mount) Top, Peak, Crest, Crown, Top, Tip, Cap, Hilltop" (recommended, good quality) and a separate 12 gauge ground wire for the reverse running motor operated. Ground to the main body of the firewall rather than screwing into the body at the attachment point (a coil of 12 gauge stranded wire is cheap). fuel system. I bolted it directly to the seat back sheet metal using a length of fuel hose for rough insulation and it's barely visible with the engine running. I recommend at least doubling the strap mount in the opposite direction unless there's a more insulated mount - while it's very quiet, it can very well vibrate on its input and output lines if it's allowed to move enough (This is the only source of noise that I had to put extra effort into isolating). This pump should be good value if you're running a 5th slightly small block from the 90's or older with a street setting (or less of course) - check out a simple online gallons per hour fuel calculator for your engine.
