Fuel pump fix. Remove the the pump drive arm, reinstall the pump, install a 6v or 12v pump fuel pump, and connect to the stock fuel pump. It will work all the time and nobody will know except you.

I am not familiar with Flathead fuel pumps but have seen on other engines where the electric pump was plumbed thru the mechanical pump and the diaphragm sprung a leak, it fills the pan with gasoline. Something to think about.

Yeah good idea
What's the psi on these flathead motors I'll have to get a fuel pressure regulator this way the stock pump doesn't have to much pressure
