Fuel pump question....
Hello Fellow Mopar Champions...
Unfortunately this yr has been real bad for me physically speaking. Spinal Stenosis & will be needing surgery in the very near future, will know this Wed when I go back to see the neurosurgeon.
He is a Good AND LONG-TIME friend of mine and we tried everything to see if we could avoid surgery for as long as possible, tried physio (joke at this point) had an epidural steroid shot that they go thru the spine watching on a monitor (as I watched also) Although the " socialised medical system" that everyone thinks is so great in Canada does not cover the shot (500 dollars) even the private insurance I have did not cover it but I tried, anything for a small relief of the pain from the nerve touching the discs... Anyways the reason of my writing tonight is that it's time to take out the cars and I know that's the only thing that actually makes me feel somewhat better. I've just stopped worrying and praying for the best but looking out for the worst as well.
What I need to know is, I have a six pack on my small block and it's become a bothersome starting IT.
Example, if it's sat for a day or 2 trying to get fuel to the car's carb to start is upsetting.
I wanted to know can you place an electric fuel pump as in I picked up a real nice one Magnafuel that I believe I will also need to change the fuel line as well but can I also keep the stock pump also ?
I would use the electric one maybe with a switch that when I'm about to start the car I'll turn it on for a few seconds and then when the carb is full I can turn it over and she will start.
Trying now turning it over sounds like it's saying, " leave me alone lone lone....." Stop and start again having the stock fuel pump trying to bring the gas up to all the carbs (but mostly the middle carb, even though they all idle on the gas that's come up to start) I just feel that this fuel pump problem is solvable with an fuel pump but will I need to remove the stock pump, meaning I will have to listen to the fuel pump all the time the car is running....
Or the "leave me alone lone lone" pump until it finally fills up to start.
Thank you experts of the MOPAR WORLD.
