Holley Red Electric
This might be a dumb question...
I have a holley red electric fuel pump installed in my 79. It makes a low buzzing noise while operating. It's not really loud or terrible sounding, it just doesn't sound how i would expect it to.
In my 2002 dakota, i can hear the stock electric fuel pump, and it sounds like a high pitched whine more than the low buzzing type noise of the Holley.
Does anyone know if it should sound this way, or does this indicate that i have my setup wrong. I.E. deadheading... or maybe an electrical problem. Sorry if my descriptions of the different sounds suck.
Thanks.

Re: Holley Red Electric (dkgrn79)
the noise doesn't really bug me. its just the pitch of the noise that worried me. just wondering if it is supposed to sound that way. i don't want to burn up the pump, it took me a while to get it hooked up. :D
Thanks. . .

dkgrn79,
I am running a Holley blue pump andthe noise is as you discribed. The reason that your Dakota makes a much higher pitch sound is the higher pressure that the FI needs on the Dakota [probably 40psi]. Your red pump is only making 7psi.
