Possible Fuel Pump Issue

[Papa Fred]

Never mind.....I went back a little further in the posts and saw Scribz post about his install.

When I did the Mr Gasket (similar pump) I put in same location as OEM. However I did some replumbing and added and ez to change filter.

To try and clear this up..... I do not work for Facet or Edelbrock.

The Edelbrock 17303 fuel pump is an in-line rotor and vane pump and DOES NOT HAVE A CHECK VALVE OR POSITIVE SHUTOFF.

The Edelbrock 17303 is a pump style similar to the Facet Posi-Flo series of pumps which also does not have a check valve or positive shut off

The Facet fuel pump you want that does have a check valve and a positive shutoff is the Model # 40178

Thanks Du-Ron...you confirmed a phone conversation I had yesterday with Edelbrock....neither have a check-valve.  The rep I talked with didn't come out and actually SAY this was a cheap pump, but in effect he was telling me they were a low-end quality item.  The Facet looks like the right choice if "pointless" is the preferred direction.  I'll get a set of replacement points for the OEM and keep it as a backup.
