FUEL PUMPS, Electric or Mechanical?

[Loose Screw]

Got the mechanical fuel pump finished up late last night. 350 started right up with a prime and a gallon of gas.
I caused some other problems along the way...blew out all the lights except the headlights and my custom hack dashboard is leaking oil......
I'll chit chat later I'm headed out to the garage......

Oh, I did put a fuel cut off switch near the sending unit, glass fuel filter near the carb and a new fuel level gauge.

Leaking Oil Pressure Gauge connector under the dash? BTDT. I once ruined a good pair of suede-side out Dingo boots that way.
If your Fuel Pump Safety Cut-Off Switch is manual -- it won't cut off if you're distracted and/or unconcious.
