i just finished my 1940 160 with the 356, i had put a low presure elec pump in but it fuel starves when it's off and floods when it's on continuously. what 12v elec pump do you reccomend?
Are you running a fuel pressure regulator in-line with the fuel pump? My '29 is running strictly on an electric pump, and I sometimes have an issue with flooding on starting it if it has been sitting longer than I should have let it, but generally speaking, it runs quite well with the direct feed from the pump. I've got the psi dialed back to 2 psi and that big rascal seems quite happy with that, it was running too rich at 3-1/2 psi.
