I suspected that my original mechanical fuel pump was causing problems, so I
went to Pep Boys and got a Purolator electronic fuel pump and installed it
and it works fine. I have Grose float valves in my carbs - don't know if
that is a factor. The noise from the pump is irritating when you are
sitting at idle. Turned out my problem was not the pump, so I may put the
old mechanical job back in service.
