You may want to consider an electric fuel pump located on frame rail close to tank - less issues with vapor lock, less amp draw on battery trying to get fuel to carb.

The current mechanical fuel pump would have no amp draw on the battery whatsoever. I'd like to keep it as original as possible under the hood. Thank you for the input though!


I think Dbedsole is writing about the amount of current the starter will draw when first starting the engine.

An electric fuel pump is a good idea to prime the pump after the car has been sitting for a long period and to overcome vapor lock. It can be mounted near the gas tank and in series with the mechanical pump. Not visible under the hood.
