Electric Fuel Pump Location on 69 Charger

My car evaporates the fuel quickly in warm weather so, one day of inactivity-it may start. Two days time will be enough to evaporate most of the gas in the float bowl. You will learn.

I start my 383 carb D100 once every 2 weeks, fires up with no effort

Same here, Mike. After a few days, need to prime the carb due to fuel evaporation.

Good afternoon,
I am looking to install an electric fuel pump to assist with starting the car after sitting for a spell. Can anyone share pictures of their installation? I bought an Edelbrock fuel pump 17301 4-7 psi.
Thanks in advance!

Mines a MagnaFuel and installed behind the driver rear slick. Steel braid everything. Filter comes off tank installed in trunk, then to pump. Electric pumps should be installed closer to the tank. Line navigates over the axle and heads towards motor down the passenger side.

I found genius thread on this forum to mount electric holley fuel pump with an old header collector bracket to fuel tank threaded rod and bend other two hole side over in vise with heat to bolt mount the pump then run the plumbing from tank down to pump and tie into existing fuel line and run an aux switch under the dash with fused relay. remove existing mechanical pump. My charger runs great just a little loud until you start up.

My question is, how long is a spell? And is it so long the fuel just evaporates? If not, is the fuel leaking, why not start periodically to circulate fluids even if you don't want to drive it for whatever reasons, weather etc.

If I let the GTX sit for a week it takes some cranking to re-prime the carb. It never bothered me because it gives the engine a chance to build oil pressure before it lights.

This has been my thinking too. I usually crank for a few seconds without touching the throttle, let the starter cool for a few seconds, and usually she fires after just a couple seconds of cranking a second time. My thoughts are that it gives the oil a chance to get started towards the upper end before lighting off. Thoughts, opinions?

Cold operation is when the bearings get the most wear. I use a Moroso oil accumulator to prelube before cranking if it has been some time since last engine operation (on my good cars). It is good to get immediate start in any case though.
