Bringing an engine out of long term storage

[FASTRAT]

The fuel system is definitely FUBAR. The mechanical (Carter I think) pump is shot. And the Holley spreadbore double pumper has seen better days.
I'm debating the fuel pump issues, mechanical vs electric
i highly recommend the Edelbrock Mechanical pump 110gph...works great...i would also go to a Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap manifold & a Holley 750 dp sq bore mech sec (reg) or an Edelbrock 750...they both work great...just my .02 cents

I do and it works otherwise I wouldn't have posted it.
it does work great...i tack welded a socket on the end, so the tip doesnt slip out of the pump rod

C.T. :wink:
calm down, wasnt saying it wouldnt work, just saying go buy the right tool for the job, 10-20 bucks it worth it to me, hell i have a hard enough time keeping a flat head screw driver on a screw when it's on a drill let alone with the preasure of the pump on it.. Plus i'd rather not break off or chip the tip and then have metal in my oil :cry:
