Some noise is normal, it's usually a soft whine not a clicking. Have you pressure tested the new pump?

No, I have not pressure tested the pump as the car runs perfect. I was just interested in the fact that the NEW Carter Pump is noiser than the original Ford Pump. At idle I can hear it from inside the car - maybe I am being over sensitive??

Yes, it is a "whine", not a click. Hope this helps...

Thanks for the speedy reply! The reason I asked is because when I had the original Ford Pump it was quiet! This pump (Carter) is certainly louder. However, the car runs well so I hope what I hear is normal and not a defective pump with a shorter than normal life span!!

Did you get a warrantee? Why not wait and see for a few weeks, I had an 86 Town Car and also did a fuel pump in it...they do whine a bit!
