Anyone running a 6v fuel pump that is quiet?
Wondering if anyone knows of a good 6v fuel pump that is quiet when it is running? I installed a carter vein pump to feed my weber downdraft. It works great and the car runs great but the pump is obnoxiously loud. Its gotta go. I see macs has one for around $55. Is it quiet? Any better than the $30 pumps on amazon that look identical?

I'm running a British SU, it just clicks every second. They come in 2 versions, a 'sucker' to mount near the motor, or a 'pusher' to mount at the tank. You wouldn't hear the one by the tank.

Oops, sorry, we're talking Model A so the tank isn't at the back.

On my smiths compresser I have a SU pump, 12v, I cut out a lot of the spring so it would have low pressure and work on 6V, no problems flooding out the zenith

This is the one I run. I can't hear it when the engine is running.

Airtex was sold to Trico in 2019, so inventories may have changed since folks bought theirs. Trico owns Carter as well.
