Guys, well the latest issue is that seems that the fuel pump shaft either is worn to the point there it does the create enough stroke to pump any fuel. I could get fuel all the way to the pump, and nothing, took off the inlet side hose and had my finger over the inlet and there was no suction. My neighbor (owns his own service station) was helping me out with an extra set of hands and from some diagnostics it seems that there just isnt enough stroke. I was under the impression that you could swap out the shaft by removing the allen head bold below the pump opening, but we are guessing that the shaft is mushroomed or something that isnt allowing it to come out the bottom. Assuming thats what the plug is there for.
Either way I think im going down the road of an electric pump as I really dont want to rip my newly painted, etc motor apart. So im looking for some recommendation on what to use, I dont picture needing anything too crazy with a relatively stock 383. I was thinking about doing an inline pump right near where the mechanical is now which would keep it hidden, but might be better off with doing a rail mount option under the car where i can hide wires easier. Any one running an electric set up for a relatively stock set up, and what are you using?
Thanks,
Bob
