Default Re: Opinion needed on fuel pumps

My '36 roadster sits for up to eight weeks without starting during the winter months. The car is 100% stock.
I pull the choke, hit the starter, pump the gas pedal maybe two or three times, hit the starter again and it starts each and every time.
I take a lot of time setting all of my cars up correctly and have never even considered an electric pump.
Vapor lock? Yeah, I have heard of such things.
Perhaps I'm biased but in 50+ years of flatheads, I have had amazingly good experiences.
I don't recall ever having too little battery or not enough fuel where it needs to be.
Just set the car up correct and forget about the "band aids".
