RE: [Chrysler300] Electric Fuel Pump

["Henry Schleimer" <henry.schleimer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe it's just me but part of the attraction of owning an older car is
having an intimate knowledge of what is happening when you turn the key and
knowing that I am part of the equation.  My 32 year old Valiant suffers from
drain back when sitting about two weeks.  I get more of a kick (pardon the
pun) when it finally fires after numerous crankings and pumping than
starting my modern fuel injected (boring) car.  Note that it has never let
me down.  It's just temperamental and I like it like that.

Hello 300'ly to all!
John Lazenby has a great auxilliary electric fuel pump at discounted price
for club members (I paid $39.95 a few years ago). I mounted it to the frame
just forward of the passenger side rear wheel opening on a rubber insulating
pad with a fabricated metal stone shield in-line with the fuel line. I
trigger it with a toggle switch mounted under the dash next to the power
antennae toggle switch. It only runs with the ignition in the "on" position.
If the car has been sitting greater than 72 hours, I turn on the pump until
the clicking noise subsides (about 10 secs.) and then start the car with
minimal cranking and then shut the pump off. It has never let me down no
matter what the outside ambient temperature. I suggest you contact John
Lazenby 714-943-0644 after 8:00 am PST. Rob Kern

J C Whitney.com _www.jcwhitney.com_ (http://www.jcwhitney.com) has 
universal electric fuel pumps in the pressure/volume you need for about $
50. 
Check with your local parts house, also.

If I remember correctly I think John Hertog used an inline electric pump 
that was oem on an early 80's Subaru which was carbureted. I'll have to 
do 
a little research

High pressure pumps (which at the moment are the largest supply due to 
modern fuel injection cars) require a pressure regulator and a by-pass 
and/or 
a supply back to the tank. This makes them and the use of a full time 
pump 
on our old cars with carbs (especially twin 4V carbs.) very risky. A 
proper 
5-6 # old type pump, if still available, are very expensive.

Anyone have a part number? Should I assume you've all chosen a low 
pressure 

pump of some type since there's no regulator? I've got a high press pump 
on my Fueli K which I'd be afraid to put behind carbs... I think anything 
more than 5-6 psi would blow the needles off their seats and overfill the 
carbs
