I seem to remember that an electric fuel pump can be advantageous at high altitudes. We live part time at 4800ft (NM) and often drive quite a bit higher from there. I haven't brought my 59 3200 (235) out yet from California but I am intending to do so soon. Anyone have any suggestions? Yeah, I'm that guy who's always trying to solve problems before they even happen! =-=-=jonas On Aug 20, 2013, at 6:16 PM, Arizona Pride! <tikua...@yahoo.com> wrote: > I buy my electric fuel pumps from Firth Avenue Antique Auto Parts, in Kansas. > They are gear driven and used by many participants in the Great Races.
