- Can the preheater pipe be blocked off or not used?
- Should gas have enough pressure to keep the filter full of gas?
- What is the best electric fuel pump to replace original fuel pump? Also, should a pressure regulator be used?
Thank you
Thank you
yes, it can, but I wouldn't if you are running a single centermount carbureter, stock or otherwise
you shouldn't have the filter on the pressure side of the pump.. that said, it's normal for the filter to have very little fuel in it...
there's really not a best... why the desire to switch?
What Joey said.
My thoughts on your questions:
I vote you repair the stock system and keep it stock! :-)
JMHO

Thank you for your input previously. If I could, I would like to ask you a few more questions about the car. The bug sat for about 6 months without a gas tank or engine. Could the fuel line be rusted inside restricting the gas? The car will start and run a few minutes and then die. This has been a continuous problem even after 3 so called experts have worked on it and we still have the same problem. The last guy put the electric fuel pump on it. We are going to take your suggestion and put the mechanical pump back on it, but it did the same thing with both fuel pumps. Do you know where we can get a new fuel line and the screen that goes in the gas tank? Thank you
troubleshoot why no gas makes it to the engine! clogged strainer inside of the gas tank can be removed! the gas line should be checked for rust and blockage. not sure if you could rod it out, but I would try on mine if no fluid travels through it!
thanks for letting us know why you "were" contemplating an electric fuel pump! ;-)
