Re: [T3] electric vs mechanical fuel pumps


This was used successfully on my engine when I ran a Holley Red Pump, per
John's suggestion:

Personally, after using a stock mechanical fuel pump, then a GOOD electric
fuel pump, and now back to a stock mechanical unit, I prefer the mechanical
unit.  Feeds my carbs well and turns off with the engine ;-)  The electric
pump was audible, required a power supply and was thus one more [non-stock]
item that could fail.  I had the occasional inconvenient power loss...likely
due to a bad ground as I used the ground wire from my original FI fuel pump
pigtail.
