Fired the cuda up and it ran but not great, found a burnt rubber plug on the carb causing a vacuum leak and got it running better but not great then it started dying out. Either I ran out of gas or my fuel pump died, gage still read above empty so figure the diaphragm took heat from the fire. Have a Carter mechanical one and need a replacement, what`s the best mechanical one that doesn`t cost a fortune?
and how many GPH do I need for a basic street smallblock?
If it's a stock engine I've always just used a standard replacement one. I'd get a carter. Rock auto has if for about $12.00
Not stock, 9.5-1, decent cam, ported heads and a 750 DP Holley with Proform body that sucks fuel.
Believe this is what my Hemi has.

Thats the race version... 9.5 PSI.... Not a good choice for a street pump..... I use to use the street version that was rated at 6 PSI but newer street pumps are rated at 7.5 PSI & in that range you should be running a pressure regulator....
Most of the pumps sold for Mopar these days are either stock replacements or rated at 7.5-9 psi....
Edelbrock offers a 6 psi version.... this is the small block version... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/edl-1720/overview/make/dodge
