The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.

VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Respectfully submitted, why even consider it? They're Band-Aids at best IMHO. Go through the complete fuel delivery system and ensure it is in peak operating condition and you'll find no need for an efp. Search this Forum and you'll find volumes of info on this.

I installed a electric pump on my 50 about a month ago, I mounted it right at the tank. Mine is in line with the stock pump and helps on hot starts. The one I'm using looks like a fuel filter and will flow through when not on. I was having fuel bleeding back to the tank , the check valve in the pump solved the problem. I turn the electric on for a few seconds then start the engine, I don't run the electric all the time. Mine too is a 4psi max, the needle and seat will hold the pressure and the pump turns off.

I installed the electric pump as a back up to the mechanical pump, after the third pump in the last 15 years and the wrecker bill on the last pump fail it is a low cost addition.

Got it. Didn't think about a hopped-up custom - mind's always around stock/original. Someone on here can likely help. Unfortunately above my pay grade.
