I switched to electric fuel pump. About 20000 miles on first one (carter), just put in a facet. Both have been a little lower pressure than i wanted (i put a guage on the filter housing). My original mechanical was still good at 120000, heard nothing but bad on new mechanical (just grapevine). Probably still cheaper than these electric, but more hassle and harder starting.
I think i seen somebody modify a chevy bigblock fuel pump for these as well, maybe more reliable? I dunno. I know i used chevy block off plate when i removed my mechanical.
Oilburners.net for idi stuff.
Is that in an International or Ford Pickup? I have yet to find a write up of an electric conversion on an International. Would be nice to see where people have mounted the pump and filters, connections and such. Mine seems to start fine. (Maybe I don’t know how well it could start if it had an electric pump on it?) Hassle, yes changing junk pumps all the time doesn’t sound fun. |
