I still rember my older brother’s 57 chevy,parked a block away. Could hear that fuel pump 5 seconds before cranking that thing over. Could never get the starter shimmed right. Those 2 noises i remember like yesterday. Was 40 years ago.
I put an electric on a piece of yard equipment that was giving me fits. It was instantly cured.
Oil pressure switch and an override button will be two things to go along with the electric pump.
