Re: Electric fuel pump

Hi-

I installed a low pressure (3-5 psi) electric fuel pump in line with the original mechanical pump. Made for easier starting and had fewer vapor lock problems. I still stall on hot days and it takes 20+ minutes to cool down and restart, so I will insulate the fuel lines.

Most important thing is to get a positive ground pump if you still have a positive ground car. I burned up two pumps that were not positive ground rated. I ended up spending big bucks for a positive ground pump from Moss Motors, but have had no problems with it.
