Re: Electric Fuel Pump

It had an electric pump on it when I bought it, but it's mounted on the fender next to the engine. That pump seems to be dying, so I bought a new pump and took that opportunity to get it back by the tak where it belongs. No one I asked was in favor of a mechanical pump over an electric, and I figured a mechanical pump would take even longer to get gas up to the carb on startup with the crappy gas we have these days.

Just curious why you're putting an electric pump on a carbureted car?

I'm working on installing an electric fuel pump back by the tank. The pump I have has 3/8" inlet and outlet fittings, but my fuel lines are 5/16". Is it ok to adapt down to the 5/16" line from the pump? Will that affect the pressure? The pump should put out 6 lb of pressure.

I'm also trying to find the best location to mount it. I think I'll end up putting it inside the far rear passenger side frame rail just before the rear bumper (on the opposite side of the bumper bracket struts). It'll be at the back corner of the tank. It'll be visable from behind, but I don't really mind that. I don't see another place I like better that keeps it low and stays away from the rear suspension.

Opinions please.

Thanks
