Alright, so in my 78 c10 i put in dual tanks myself, pulled a switch from the junk yard and did all the hose routing etc, and it mostly works. But when i accidentally run all the way out of gas and get air in the line, its a bitch to get started again. Normaly i just have to get hacky with the wiring on the side of the road. But today when i went to do my usual trick of putting the wire for the switch to the power termainal so it gets power even when cranking, it didn't work. I ended up bypassing the selector switch in a sketchy part of town today in the dark lol, went to crank and still, nothing! Ended up having to call for a ride to an autozone, waste 20 bucks on an electric fuel pump, and jerry rig it in place of my mechanical pump in the parking lot. That got it running. I still dont know why my mechanical pump wont work. So now i have a delima, i have this electric fuel pump i could use, and block off the manual one, or i could replace my manual one. I like the manual because its really straight forward, but this electric one seems reliable. Keep in mind im just running a standard small block with an edelbrock carb, nothing fancy, no rerurn ****. If i go with electric how should i wire it?
