Technical 1952 Ford Customline 6cyl 6v electric fuel pump

So, 215 straight 6 w/mechanical fuel pump fuel pressure is only 2psi.

Runs fine until I see a hill, incline etc then she's starving for fuel.

Tried three different mechanical pumps same same.

Electric fuel pump?

6v positive ground, do I need a fuel pressure regulator?

Which is best and do I run solo or in conjunction with stock pump?

Thanks in advance

 

If that is the same engine from your previous post, I suspect the fuel pump eccentric is worn down on your camshaft. A small in-line fuel pump with a 5-psi regulator, byp***ing the mechanical pump, would be the best solution until you rebuild the motor or go V8. Finding a 6V pump may be hard.

 

Yes Sir, same 6cyl. Changed the head gasket, adjusted the valve lash, advanced the timing etc and she runs nice. Like I said I'm on a budget so, one of the mottos from the USMC was " run her till she blows!"

Tried two different pumps with the same results. So an electric one looks about right.

I've found them on C&Gs website for $90, Amazon has what appears to be the same item for $30. That's not including a regulator.

If it's a stand alone pump I'd want a quality one since it'll be running all the time.

 

This is a six volt pump. Carter has a good reputation.

Make sure the pickup in the tank is not full of rust holes and ****ing air.

 

Tank is new Bob Drake as well as the sending unit. Rust free believe I checked.
