OK barners I installed an inline electec fuel pump on my 55 with 272 engine and now if I drive it 55 or 60 it will starve for fuel after a few minutes..Hold the pump in the on and ok for a bit..So I need a plan that will allow the mechanical pump to suck gas around the electric pump..Do I need a check valve in the bypass line so the electic pump can not push the fuel back through the bypass line rather than up to the carb..Someone out there must have a plan and give me an idea as to how to go about it..I only use the electric for starting when the car is not driven fo long periods Thanks in advance..PS Mechanical pump is new..
