Today was my first opportunity to drive the car in a while. Coming home I got stuck on the side of the road (no fault of yours) I ran out of gas and managed to destroy the Holley Mechanical fuel pump by running it dry.
No amount of fuel in the tank would help.
I was able to blow fuel through the lines,There is no blockage in the filter. The pump will just not transfer fuel. Period.
I am sitting here and getting ready to order another replacement pump. I also want to go ahead and take advantage of the electric fuel pump prewiring that came with the car.
I believe it is attached to that third toggle switch on the dash.
How can I have redundant fuel pumps, mechanical and electric at the same time?
Can I install the electric fuel pump right ahead of the fuel filter by the tank and have the fuel then run through the mechanical pump as well?
Or do I have to have bypass lines, regulators etc?
Any advice would be appreciated.
I don't intend to wait on the side of the highway for a tow truck again. Not for fuel pumps anyways.
Damn Holley pump. Damn Smith gauge for indicating more fuel than I actually had.
Can you recommend a reliable and good electric fuel pump by make and model?
