I have a 1967 mustang with a 302 in it.

I need a fuel pump, however, not just the run of the mill mechanical. The piece on the inside of the cam is broken so Im going to need a blockoff plate and run an external pump. The problem is that I dont want one I will have to drop down and mount in or on the fuel tank. In addition, I want one that if the fuel gets up to a certain threshold of pressure it will shut off so it doesnt just pump and pump fuel in. I dont want to have a separate switch and want one that will run off the ignition system when I turn the key to the on position.

any ideas? obviously the less money the better. thanks guys.

I believe you are looking for "with regulator"

If it is a stock or near stock engine then just get one of the cheap o universal electrics from advance. I think they're Mr. Gasket branded, roughly 45 bucks.

Create a dedicated circuit for it and wire in a relay triggered off a switched power source.

I've used a few of these through the years and they have served the purpose.

its not near stock at all...its practically a hot rod.

You can wire the one i posted anyway you want to, doesn't have to be in the tank and has a fuel pressure regulator and is even made specifically for carbureted engines...

<-- WIN!

Yeah I got to looking at that one...Advanced has it and is offering 15% off through JAn 14th on orders over 100 bucks.

would I need to get it for a particular car or just the regular old 5.0L 302 version would work?

No, you just need to guarantee 4-6 psi to the carb. If you don't want to spring for the high dolla Holley one, get you a Carter or a Purolator. These pumps are internally sprung to deliver the correct pressure range, and you really don't need a regulator. They will run continuously, and there's no harm in it at all.

Mayhap you tell me what kind of carb you're running. If you're running a regular Edelbrock 650 or a Holley 0-1850, then you don't need some high dolla pump pushing a bajillion gallons an hour. It's just not necessary.

You can get a universal...you don't need one application specific.

running this carb

That's nothing more than a dressed up, improved version of the 0-1850 vacuum secondary carb. Not a real drinker.

Go with this:

That's really all you need, and likely more than what you need. Do you get into it much?

the only times I drive it are to car shows or showing off for the womenz that want to ride in it.

so not very much...maybe every other time I drive it. its not like I drag it.

and where can I find that^

i found the holley one at autozone.

Order it from Summit, or I'm betting you can get it at Loop Road Auto Parts.

As Carter is a Federal Mogul product, Carquest might be able to get it.

You can get this one at NAPA:
