I have a 55 Fairlane with a warmed over 272 ( bored .60 over, small cam, four barrel carb). I show the car locally, will drive four or five miles to a show with no issues, when I arrive and its time to park (no power steering, three on the tree) and I have to back up and go forward a couple times and take my foot off the gas the car will dye, and I have to pump it for a minute or so and it will finely start. It will sometimes die at stoplights if I don't keep the RPM up.
I'm running stock fuel pump with the wiper inlet pugged off, (no wipers).
I think I need a different fuel pump.. if so what will fit my 272 ? want to stay with a mechanical pump.

Thanks
