Another excellent presentation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Well done Larry! Looking forward to more of your excellent videos! Kudos to Shelly too!

[guydicarlo]

great video. Thank you for being so detailed.

GREAT VIDEO! Thank you Larry for sharing this valuable information. I got my '67 Monza on the road this summer after it sat for 22 years. I used a knockoff Facet pump (~$25) and a knockoff impact switch (~$10 now on Amazon). So far so good for a hobby car but you're right, name brands are best. The fuel pump made 3-4 PSI so no pressure regulator was needed.

Excellent information. I like the inertia switch it’s what I use and easy to find a place to mount and you can test and reset it easily.

This is very nicely done!!
Thanks for sharing!!

Update of Clark's mechanical Corvair fuel pump- we had thought the reproduction fuel pump would have been in stock by the time I posted this video, and indicted that at about the 10.00 minute mark, but checking on 11/1/24, it is still on back order, so an electric is still the way to go.

I definitely got my car to drive on a daily basis, it's robust, easy to fix and improve.

Hi folks, any opinion for a silent electric fuel pump for my Camino 65. Engine is a 320 HP 350 Edelbrock crate Engine and I already installed a high output vane style Aeromotive pump which is to noisy when running under the bed. I also mounted a regulator because I wanted a return line due vapor lock. The pump itself is regulated to 7 psi. So, there was no need for a regulator but I wanted the return line and the option to run another pump with higer psi. Thanks for your thoughts.

Can anything be done to muffle the sound? On the solenoid type, would a piece of radiator hose or foam pipe insulation work? Or would this cause the pump to overheat?

[paulsthormes]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Something I just recently added to my truck. Is a vapor soperator Fuel filter. Is fuel sends the fuel back to the gas tank it improves on hotstarts. Fix my vapor lock problem.

[fuelbasti]

Is there a brand for this modified tank unit? Like this idea very much. Best video out there. Thanks!

If I wanted to get rid of the mechanical fuel pump and go with a Carter electric fuel pump on a 6v, 216 cu. in. what would you suggest?

[glenhenning]

Absolutely great video! Wish I had seen this before going thru 4 fuel pumps in the last year on my '81 CJ5 258. 2 were the Edlebrock micropumps- garbage! 1 lasted 5 months, the 2nd only 20 minutes! Edlebrocks FIRST response was "don't forget, they come with a warranty". Not a single question as to how I installed them, (exactly per directions), he knows they're junk! Looked at some reviews- half were 5 star, the OTHER HALF WERE ONE STAR! The 5 star reviews were mostly done right after install, I would love to know what their ratings were 6 months later! Btw, ALL currently available mechanical pumps for jeeps will blow the diaphragm, usually sooner rather than later, including the Rock Auto highest price pump. It's easy for a failure to allow gas into the crankcase when failed- no thanks! Final decision? Holley red, it'll be big, a bit noisy, but dammit I just need some gas to go to the engine, NO excuse for all these garbage parts sold today. I'll put a partial bash plate over the Holley, (it's a jeep!), and that should bet that.

Got a 65 vert. What electric pump do you recommend I get installed?

[stevel]

What is your opinion of the electric pumps that Clark's sells??

[scottmagyar]

Sir another great video, Do you recommend Ted browns in tank Vega setup in a 1965 Corvair with carbs, for everyday usage, thks

[danielalmendarez]

What kind of electric fuel pump would you recommend for a 1946 Chevy Truck 216 cu in.?

[briannipper]

Any benefit with running an electric pump with a mechanical pump? I bought a 66 mustangs and it has both an electric and mechanical.

[Beastps]

I have a 1986 C10 Chevy pickup and it vapor locks. What PSI do I need for that truck 350 Auto 4-barrel carburetor Qjet
