Anyone know the Napa part number for a 12V electric fuel pump that will work on a Hornet? Mine has already been converted with one and seems to be now having fuel delivery issues (pump is about two years old). I haven't removed it yet to see the part number. Thanks!

    I have a Carter P60430 12v gear driven pump mounted to the trunk riser sheet metal right over the gas tank in my 53 Hornet. It is small(really small) and will put 30GPH. A pressure regulator(it will push 7 PSI, $20) and I suggest a check valve( if you are removing the mech pump, $10 Mc Master-Carr).Summit is the cheapest price(Summit Racing.com), under $55, filter included. Rotary vane pumps work well also, but are $100 and need more space and the same additions.

    Neils,one other thing. Avoid solenoid pumps,ie, ones that look like fuel filters # E 8011(6v) or 8012(12v). Modern gas causes premature failure. Also the 60430 can be used on 6v. The DC motor will turn at half the speed same 7PSI, but only @15GPH volume.

    Not all those "fuel filter looking" electric pumps have problems with modern gas --- depends on the materials used. I've had one on my Hornet for over five years and about 25,000 miles, with no problems.

    I just bought a "Mr.Gasket Co" brand from Auto Zone for $40.49-with a car clun 10% discount.It says for all 12 V carburated 4.6.8 cyl applications. This is the third one i have used on different cars I have helped convert to 12 volt.I let the mechanical pump take over after starting and do use an in line filter at the tank are instilation.There is no NAPA store here as the others have run them out due to highte prices

    Walt is back on. Borg-Warner makes 6 volt pumps, #EP-11 and 12 volt pumps #EP-12B. I have the 12 volt on my car and at 130,000 miles it's still running. The reason pumps go bad is because there is no filter before the pump and junk gets in the pump. This filter you have to keep an eye on because you will be surprised what it catches. To install an electric pump you have to do the correct job. In my tech book volume one, has the complete story on page 39. Do it my why and be trouble free.
