Does anyone have an electronis fuel pump installed on the TBird. If so where did you buy yours, what type of system 6v or 12v, where do you have it installed, where did you tie in the electrical lines at and what psi is the system. Will a max 4.5 psi system work or do I need something that goes as high as 6 psi.

Finally do you have it installed in line with your mechainical pump.

Thanks

Had one on a 59 Bird I had. It worked fine in cooler temps but after moving to FL it would overheat at stop lights. After sitting one to many times waiting to cool I finally looked into the real problem. The carb was junk, just flat wore out. I bought a N.O.S. one put a gasket kit in it and was fine. Are you trying to cure a problem or have another issue?

Yes if you scroll down on the main discussion board you will see my post in reagrds to the car stalling from lack of fuel. Take a read and give me your thopughts.

Thanks

Bob, there seems to be a fundamental problem in the fuel system that you have not identified yet. Under normal circumstances, there is no need for an auxillary fuel pump. I suspect that there is a blockage of some sort that has not yet been discovered. Perhaps the metal fuel line is kinked or a hose is pinched. You mentioned that you had not checked the pump mounted filter. I would start there by replacing the filter element with a good quality one like a Wix or NAPA Gold brand. Inspect every inch of the fuel line from the tank to the fuel pump to verify that it is free of any sharp bends or loose connections. Be sure that the fuel tank is vented properly as well. Insects frequently plug the vent lines in older automobiles. You can also confirm that the fuel pump itself is operating by temporarily dis-connecting the fuel line at the carburetor, install an extension to the fuel line running to a suitable container and turn the engine over with the starter. Fuel should discharge. A fuel pressure guage can also be connected to check the pressure if desired. All of this testing should be done with extreme care because raw fuel can easily catch fire and cause serious damage or injury! Work in a well ventilated area and always have a good fire extinguisher at hand. You stated that that you had replaced many of the parts in the system but remember that even new parts can be defective. BTW, T-birds have had 12 volt electrical systems since 1956. Good luck and stay safe!
