IML: mech + electr fuel pump.

[Philippe Courant <accf-club@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
To avoid some works on the side of the road in an eventuality of  malfuctiuning pump, i 'll install an emergency electrical pump. I've an Holley "red" which delivers more fuel than the 392 could burn. I made a test and
- at tank location, the pump deleivers 1 1/4 gallons in 1 mn
- at engine location (beside the mech. pump) the pump delivers litle less than 1/2 gallons in 1 mn. Ther's around 10 feet fuel line between tank and mech. pump !
I know that these pump must push rather than pull but do you think that 1/2 gal / mn is correct in all case.
I prefere mount the pump at front, access is better than crawling under rear axle !!

And now, how install the two pumps ? I've made two schematics, i'm not sure the #2 will work (but the pump is at rear so it flows better..)
