The Ford Barn

I bought an electric fuel pump from Macs thinking I could use it in line with my mechanical for my 1934 flathead 6 volt system. Now it seems that this pump won't allow the mechanical pump to draw threw as certain posts suggest.also what's the best way to disable the mechanical pump if I decide to use only the electric? Something about plugging the pump rod etc. Sorry if this issue has been brought up before but I Dont know how to find past posts.

I think you need an actual laptop or desktop computer.

Pull the rod out, it's that simple. Nothing needs plugging.
