I have a '54 Land Cruiser, stock w/232 V-8.
Anybody ever installed an in-line electric fuel pump? My car has one, installed by the previous owner. I'm guessing because the gas tank was so gummed up that the manual pump couldn't handle the load to pull the fuel up. I had the tank rebuilt and new lines. Now it seems like there's too much pressure coming up to the carb. I turn on the electric in-line pump prior to start and within seconds it's spewing fuel out the edges of the sight glass. I thought about removing the electric pump, going back to stock. But I live in Colorado and it gets hot in the summer and I thought the electric pump might help supplement the manual pump.
Thoughts?
