Need a bit of assistance. Its a chore to get my engine kicking over because I seldomly drive her. Just life at the moment but I do love her and want to take her out. I have a 440 with Dual 500 Edelbrocks, an Edelbrock 120gph fuel pump thats a few years old. Stock fuel tank and sending unit. It can sometimes take 20-30min of constant cranking to get enough fuel to the carbs to get her to kick over. I even use Starting fluid to get a few low charged RPMs to suck enough fuel quicker. I have the Hemi Fuel Vapor separator but I haven't installed it yet.

My question is this:

Can I install an electric fuel pump back by the axle to PUSH the fuel forward to the mechanical fuel pump and then have it go into bypass so only the mechanical is working to suck the fuel or does the electric fuel pump have to constantly be pushing? Do they even make 7psi fuel pumps?
