Hey folks;

I have a 73' Dart Sport that we are slowly taking the 'race' and making it more streetable.

I have not driven the car in some time, and a whole lot of issues are rearing their ugly heads.

My newest problem is my current BG 280 fuel pump.

Well, it has pumped itself dry, and really was never very happy with, but I digress.

This motor is a 451 (440) 10:1 Eddy RPM headed motor, solid cam etc, etc. A good solid street motor.

What options are available to me?

I know that i am going to need a fuel pump push rod?, as I ditched my stock pump years ago.

Also, does anyone have pics of cars with mechanical fuel pumps in place?

Where does the fuel go to, and come from?

Thanks,

Bryan

i have had no trouble with my mechanical carter fuel pump. the rod you hold up with a finger while you slide the pump arm lip in.

$70 dollar one flows well too. the $120 strip one needs a regulator.

after storgae, without an electric pump to bump. i use a bulb of fuel, and squirt it down the vents . pump the gas pedal once to fill the accel pump and wet the blades a lil at the end.....

i set the manual choke and turn the key starts up and idles hi at 1400rpm. easy. push in the choke slowly nas it warms up and idles well at 900.

My old pump works!

Guess I gave up on the ol' girl to quick. But, I did go back to a new electric pump.

I have a motorplate in the car, and was going to be very tight for space.
