Electric vs mechanical fuel pump

[Richard Cranium]

Funny that this topic was brought back to life! Cr8crshr sold his car last month and for the past few months, he's been trying to get it runnin. New build, new mechanical pump with not even 50 miles on the car in over 8 years. I was thinking it was bad gas that was giving him problems as it wouldn't fire up. The buyer came and did a quick by-pass of the mechanical pump and it fired right up. I don't get it?

Bad gas stinks.

Might be another pushrod, @69a100 ?
Speaking of which, I guess it's about time for me to fool with mine again (the one in Fred now is a couple
years old, so it's gotta be crap by now).
I've got a brand new Howard's hanging on the pegboard but from what I read on here, it's junk too??
Anybody got a Mopar one they wanna let go of?

At less than 50 miles on the car?? I don't think so!
