Re: using the stock mechanical fuel pump with electric
That was common practice on flathead Cadillacs. I just that on three for one owner.
He said they did pump enough fuel on real steep roads in high mountains.
I also done it by adding a fuel pump up front. I have one car that way.
If my original in the rear craps out I can put a jumper wire on the one in front and continue on.
Some say to just fix the original problem. Sure.
When you’re out in the boonies at night or going through a long tunnel and you main pump quits you’ll wish you’d have done something so you could just reach under the dash and flip a switch.
If I leave my F1 for 3 months the gas in the carb will dry up!
I turn on my ignition, turn one the electric pump until it stops clicking and hit the starter.
Usually stars in about two seconds.
A Ford with original system should never vapor local. unless you add dual exhausts and don’t reroute the gas line away from the left exhaust pipe.
