Vapor-Locking... the bane of my existence.

No I did not. I also have a 1/2 inch fuel line from the pickup in the tank up to the fuel pressure gauge at the carb where goes back to 3/8. Hey I live in north carolina now but went to high school in walla walla. Small world huh!

Walla Walla?!? I was down there last year. Small world indeed. And I have been to North Carolina. My wife has relatives up in Ashville. We went leaf peeping last time we were in town a few years ago. Beautyful area.

I used a Carter P4600HP electric pump. Mounted it back at the tank(1964 ply savoy). I originally intended to only use it to prime or if I had a vapor lock issue. However I quickly found out that my mechanical pump ( a Carter as well) would not pull thru the electric pump unless it was on. I think there are some electric pumps that will let you pull thru them. I removed the mechanical and run the electric pump continously. I did not run a return and it's been working for over 9 years now. I do not have a fuel pressure regulator. My fuel pressure stays around 5 psi. This pump self regulates 5-7 psi. Bought from Summit and at the time it was made in the USA! Good luck!

Best external elec pump made!
