Hi mullinax95. I wanted to come and let you know,I think your car is awesome and that I hope you can get your fuel related problem fixed quickly.

I am curious as to why you are running both an electric and mechanical pump.Wouldnt either one alone get the job done? I would think the mechanical pump alone would be less hassle.

Thanks for the complements!

I am curious to know myself actually..LOL!

When I bought the car it already had a electric fuel pump hooked up with a switch. I just left it off because I had a 273 with a 500 CFM Edelbrock carb. Now I have a 360 with a 750 HP DP carb and still don't cut it on. I started having fuel trouble (like it was running out of gas) so I flip the switch and left it on... but it didn't help any. So now I'm back to square one again. I'm going to get some hose tomorrow and stick in a gas can... I don't know what else to do. The car stays running now instead of cutting off but that low fuel pressure is not going to cut it. I have seen low as 4.5psi and my (clear) fuel filter goes empty instead of stays full.
