RE: IML: mech + electr fuel pump.



In the "old" days lots of people ran an electric pump at the back through the mechanical pump. Shouldn't be any problem. Just have the electric on an on/off toggle.

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..)
