FUEL PUMPS, Electric or Mechanical?

[72SB]

Look into replacement metal lines from places like Inline Tube, Right Stuff, etc. They are plug and play for stock routing. I got a tank to FP one from Right Stuff for my 67 Camaro. Fit perfect. Came folded in half in a 6' box. Easily bent it by hand to straighten it. I suspect C10 ones are fairly short so should come unbent in box.

I got a mechanical from Summit, Carter 3/8" line size. It was about $20. Works fine

I was at a cars & coffee yesterday and guy had an electric mounted on rail basically at door area. It was loud and he hated it but with his LS swap he needed electric.

Is that cars and coffee on Tapo? Or the Firestone shop? I thought they both closed down for winter.

Back on topic, I should look into the NiCopp for some new lines, given the age.

Westlake is 2nd Saturday year-round

Personally having run both on daily drivers I would put a mechanical pump on it and forget about it. Until the mechanical runs out of the capacity to supply enough fuel to the engine due to engine modifications it's not worth the trouble.

In my experience aftermarket pumps are not able to provide long term service. They generally are lucky to go more than 30k miles.

As always my opinion and $10 will get you a steaming hot cup of Joe just about anywhere.

Yeah, this looks like the way to go. I'm going to call Inline first. I'm just barely finishing cleaning the truck with good gas power washer. Fluids, door hinges and then a toss up between parking brake and fuel system....I got A Lot to do...ball joints, electrical, motor mount etc etc.....

Thanks Gents!
