Re: Bypass electric pump
The first electric FP I used was the little rectangular cheapy. The stock pump on the motor pulled through it just fine. It worked great for priming. When I went to the 3/8 line, I upgraded the electric to a Holley race style from Jeggs. The pump on the motor had been a stock type replacement. It fit passenger cars with an adapted fitting, 292 trucks, and FE motors all the way up to 427. I never saw a problem with any of the pumps pulling or pushing through another. My electrics were mounted under the back seat on the outside, near the tank. I also had a heat shield between the pump and the exhaust. I used the Jeggs wire kit with a relay. Good parts, good folks to deal with. The volume problem at the drags was because of a darn nice burn out, then a hard pass, ( is there any other kind?). The new 3/8 line fed the stout Y block at Bonneville in a one mile pass.
