thinking of an electric fuel pump [carter 6 volt 2-4 psi] and wondering how to by-pass the original pump or do I have to? Thanks for your always good advice. Don If I by pass the pump completely, do I just let it sit there? There’ll be nothing to pump, but it will still be functioning, is that ok? Thanks Don This message was edited by oldfordman on 3-22-20 @ 4:05 PM

I have an elec pump installed(dual chrome 97's on an Almquist intake) and went from the fuel line directly to the carbs. No problems. Had the orig pump fixed (leaked) and now am using the elec just to prime. FWIW Paul in CT

I installed a 6 volt Airtex E8902 on my '46 coupe in 2018, which I bought from Rockauto for $32.00. I only use it for "priming' after the car has sat for a number of days. It works well for me, has the right pressure, and is a "flow through" design, which allows the engine fuel pump to provide flow to the carb when the engine is running. I also used the metal fuel filter with threaded connection to the inlet of the pump.
