Talking Fuel pump for G-Body

Hi everyone, Been a while since I've been on. I currently have a Walboro 225 with a vette filter/regulator. Pump performs well, but it noisy as hell. What are you other G-Body cars running ?

Damn really?? I'm thinking of going with the Racetronix sending unit with the Walbro pump. How noisy is it? BTW what are you running ie: stock sender, lines, and how did you connect to the vette regulator? I'm trying to figure my set up

Mine is loud, it wasn't that bad when I put in 9 yr ago. I mounted filter to frame rail rh side just in front of tank. Used the existing fuel line, then just ran a short hose back to tank from filter. I think tank is for a GN and so is sending unit. Will have to pull it to check rubber mount/bushing might be bad.
Come to think of it I most likely need to change filter, can't remember last time lol. I don't drive it very much, sits in garage most of the time. Gonna start working on it again this year. Life got in the way for a while.
