Re: fuel pump?

I had an electric fuel pump on my 83. I put it in cuz the fuel pump lobe on the cam went flat. I got a 5-7psi pump, didn't run a regulator. Worked fine. It installed on the fuel line right near the tank. .... Very easy. The pump I had was about $30-40...

Re: fuel pump?

There are tons of Mr. Gasket electric in line pumps on ebay for around 20-30 bucks. I don't know about the reliabilty of the Mr. Gasket pumps though.

Re: fuel pump?

The Mr. Gasket pumps are more of an 'assist' pump... They are usually at the auto parts stores next to all the chrome dress-up stuff... around $35 or so... I don't believe they are 'stand alone' pumps...

Re: fuel pump?

It really simple. It's about as easy as installing an inline fuel filter... plus a hot and a ground wire...
