The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 1951 Ford - Not vapor lock- but something going on

I use a Mr Gasket pump and only use it to prime the carbs when the car has been sitting a while. The Mr Gasket fuel pump offers no resistance to fuel being pulled through it by the mechanical pump, even when the electric pump is not powered. I suspect that your Carter pump restricts or blocks flow when off.
