going back to mechanical fuel pump

[GupsTateS]

When I bought the car it had an electric fuel pump installed in the engine bay, previous owner knew it was wrong but it is what it is.

I now am going to go back to a mechanical pump fuel system. I bought a carter high volume pump.

What I need to know...Is there a place where I can get the complete fuel line system?

Also, I have a question about electric fuel pumps. The one I have on now is on a switch in the dash. Is the correct operation to turn the switch just before trying to crank or during cranking? Sorry, very unfamiliar with electric fuel pumps and just curious.

Flip the switch and crank it.

Finelines would have what you need. They would have the line from the gas tank to the engine compartment and the line from the fuel pump to carb.
