1952 - 250 fuel pump question

Posted by robsweet On 2018/6/18 10:28:07

I have a '52 - 250 and after just replacing my master cylinder, my mechanic said that the fuel pump is leaking.

I am not super handy in working on my car, but I figured that I can get a new fuel pump to replace the leaky one.

So, my main question is: right now she takes forever to start cold. My friend said that it could be that it needs an electronic fuel pump.... my question is, will a new mechanical fuel pump help her start better? I really don't want to add electronics or something that requires maintenance, or could pose problems.

thoughts?
