[Chrysler300] Cold start--Electric fuel pump

["walt reinecker" <waldor@xxxxxxx>]

Hello Victor---  I'm a fairly new member of the 300 Chrysler Club[ bout 1 year] and enjoy reading the Listserver --I've had a bit of experience with electric fuel pumps-[ I have a 1963 Oldsmobile Jetfire[ turbocharged ]and it has had an electric pump [Added ] to it [Just in front of the fuel tank] and I turn on a toggle switch for about 10 seconds before trying to start the motor and this --Primes- - the carb and it starts quick--[  I also just bought a 1964 Chrysler  ---300  K  Long Ram car about 1 &1/2 yr. ago--and  I'm  in the middle of restoring it [ I don't think it has an electric pump on it but I will be putting one on it]  I have a couple pumps that I have picked up at flea markets -hanging in the garage--that I can use]  AND BOTH OF THEM --HAVE  5  PSI  printed on them -- The same as the mechanical pump]  BUT  --soon as the engine starts --I would turn the Electric pump --OFF  --[  AS the mechanical one will take over]   When you turn  ON  the Electric pump you can  HEAR  it ticking [spinning] noticeably --til  the system  is primed --THEN turn it OFF-either -before or  After you start it[ TRY BOTH] Hope this helps--[ This is my 1st message to the listserver]
