What is a good fuel pump for a street car? I have a Aeromotive A1000 it's going out, The fuel pressure keeps dropping in every pass.

Well That sure is helpful.Walbro
Another a1000 or look at one of the pumps made by Magnafuel
No shit, I hope its not the same A1000.Well That sure is helpful.

Sure are cocky for some newb who post some useless recommendation.No shit, I hope its not the same A1000.
I mean, if he was still running an in-tank pump only he indeed might need a Walbro.
How about a:
255lph pump?
or perhaps he would need a GSS340 Walbro High pressure pump that is recommended for boosted applications.
That would be useful. Don't become a smartass on here till you at least become smart...
Right cuz all Walbro pumps have to be intank:lame: 2 walbro pumps should be fine.Sure are cocky for some newb who post some useless recommendation.

I run a Magnafuel ProTuner on the TT Cobra and I've had really good luck with it.
Magnafuel says to run a cooler on the line if temps get above 140° for an extended amount of time because your gas will vapor lock the pump at that temp. Down there in the DFW area, I can imagine it getting pretty toasty on a street car in stop and go traffic.

The walbro pumps are good pumps for sure, like Mike mentioned - the GSS340 is an excellent choice, but you will need two. That alone makes it a better idea to get a "GOOD" single pump. Not to mention the price of additional fittings.
For your car, the A1000 is a premium choice - it's durable and long lasting.
If you must replace it with something different, MY choice would be magnafuel - I think all of their pumps are continous duty rated.
A couple of things to consider, first - What kind of pickup are you using? Is it a sump? If not, it NEEDS to be. Second, is there a pre-filter? Is it clean?
What size lines to and from?
Normally those pumps don't lose volume, they typicall just quit. I don't think they have vanes that wear. I seem to remember them bieng an eccentric design like an oil pump?
Regardless, I'd be sure the filter is clean, the pumps is getting full voltage at WOT (it should have a relay and the sump is IMPORTANT!!!)... pickup tubes are not the best by any means, especially on a car that has enough power to use a lot of the pump's output...functioning regulator? reference line leaking?
just some food for thought.

I have a sump.. -10 to fuel pump the rest of it is all -8..return is -6The walbro pumps are good pumps for sure, like Mike mentioned - the GSS340 is an excellent choice, but you will need two.

I have two filters on each side of the pump. Filters are clean, I have not checked the voltage.
A 1000
There is a 10 micron and a 100 micron filter that goes on these,Not sure which at the moment goes on inlet side .Another is grounding.If you have maybe a "sag" in the line take apart without the filters on and run pump into a clear glass.Sometimes the trash settles and can look into filters and clean but when apply pressure stirs it up and clogs the screen ,when pressure off trash settles down off off screen ,seen it happen Check the ground.Also if low on fuel and return line dumping in can add air bubbles and suck into inlet.While pump is running shake the terminals and the ground wires.Sometimes the inner nut gets loose.Does it get hot to the touch?Just my .02 and trying to troubleshoot it.Good luck
