Hi Matt... It doesn't sound like you have a motor set on "KILL", so I

Thanks Ron.
From what you're saying, it sounds like 150gph should be more than
enough. The BG280 is probably overkill. I was thinking about using a
regulator with a bypass, so these kits might not be the way to go. It
looks like they come with a basic 2-port regulator.
What about brands?
I come from a drag racing background... It's always been thought that
too much is ok... you get yourself a pump that puts out more than you
think you'll need...
like say a Comp140 Mallory pump, or something similar, then regulate
your pressure up near the carb.

Along the same lines as Larry's question. What brands of electric

I can see 3 or 4 pumps of the pedal in some cases, but I don't think I need
more than two in any case. I don't think I could crank the car to get 15
pumps of the gas pedal without it starting long long before I could get that
far.
When the car has sat for a week or longer, it takes a few cranks

Hi Dan, sounds like you've got a fuel pump that's N.G. The knocking noise is could be from
too much starting fluid. That stuff can ruin an engine. I hope, for your sake, that is not the case here.
Good Luck,

Pull the plugs and then you will turn over easy and fast and make oil

A mechanical fuel pump will do just fine. There are times where my 70 will go for a month (or longer) without even being cranked over. Two pumps of the gas and it fires right off every time without fail. My other 70 (yep I got 2 of them) was sitting for almost a year without cranking ov
