Hello everyone,
any recommendations on a electric 6 volt positive ground fuel pump for my 1934? Look on ebay appears to be many.
Does anyone know what the PSI should be?
Thank you for the help.

My recommendation is to not use an electric fuel pump, those cars are virtually immune to vapor lock and that mechanical pump is exceptionally competent and even with a empty carburetor should fill and start within a few revolutions which is a good thing anyway, allows the oil pump to build some pressure. But if you must, 4-1/2 psi max.

If you do go with an electric pump the Airtex E8902 at 2 1/2-4 1/2 psi would be an appropriate universal pump that is readily available.http://www.amazon.com/Airtex-E8902-Electric-Fuel-Pump/dp/B005E9DKWW/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1440970470&sr=1-1&keywords=e8902

Hello,
I removed the old electric fuel pump and rebuilt the original. I will give this a try and see how it performs without the electric pump first. My other car has an electric fuel pump that just stop working. All in all thank all of you for the information will keep you posted on what happens.
Thank you
