Re: fuel pump pounds/ can i go mechanical
I don't understand the question. Doesn't the Ford have a mechanical pump now? Or did Ford already have EFI in 78?

Re: fuel pump pounds/ can i go mechanical
ok the ford does have a mechanical fuel pump now and it is not working. and it is in a spot where i would have to pull out quite a bit of **** just to replace the pump. question was i would it be ok and work if i put in a aftermarket electric (like one from the zone)

Re: fuel pump pounds/ can i go mechanical
duct tape gets sticky and may unravel when used to hold in mechanical fuel pumps. I suggest a coat hangar reinforcement.
