Finally! A question where I feel I actually have the answer! I purchased an electric fuel pump to replace the dodgy mechanical pump in my '70 Mk3, and so far have been quite happy with the results. I

I made a bunch of Blank Off plates and offered them to the list a couple of years ago. I probably have a few left out in the garage. You can have one for free, just pay me for the postage (I think ab

I have this same pump on my 76. It had been on the car for a while when I got it and I have used it for almost three years now. Really makes a clatter until the fuel runs through it and then is still

I've managed to purchase an electric fuel pump that is not supposed to be used with tanks that have "vapor return lines". According to the installation instructions, the pump will not operate properl

Terry ,We just went over this subject(check archives) but I believe that the *can of worms* will be a collapsed fuel tank because these elect. pumps really 'pull' good. If anyone thinks different,let

Unless you somehow vent the tank, you will either starve the car for fuel or collapse the tank. That is a closed vented tank that vents through the carbon canister to relieve the vacuum buildup from

I'm in the process of installing an electric fuel pump in my 76 1500. Instructions say to hook the positive lead to the oil pressure switch so that the pump won't run unless the engine is running. W

Think about this: If the fuel pump doesn't operate unless the engine is running, and if there is no fuel in the carb prior to starting, how is it ever going to get pumped there? My suggestion is to

Joe, I would imagine the same way as a mechanical pump. Now I might be wrong, but I thought the fuel is in the carb bowl to get the engine started at first. That is unless you've also got a leaky bow

The mechanical pump works off the cam so it operates when the engine turns (running or not). On an electric pump, there must be a flow of electricity and if it only operates when the engine is "runni

My '77 has an electric fuel pump... it operates directly off the ignition. A real advantage of using an electric fuel pump is that fuel is delivered to the carb(s) BEFORE CRANKING. This allows for f

** No, and it would be a really good idea to install the pump in this way, which is how fuel injection systems are set up. It isn't because of a pressure buildup though, as most pumps, especially on
