I have a early 63 Turbo that  eats a fuel pump about every  200  miles.  The 
current eighth one is squirting gas out the  side of the pump as  2 others 
finally did too.(some just quit..one  put gas in the oil)  It  hasn't 
mattered where 
I buy them.   I am going to install an electric pump,  and was wondering if 
it 
will  work OK as I don't have a fuel return line.   Would a return line be  
needed for an electric pump?

 That's got to be some kind of record!!  gg  Did you  ever try adding longer 
machine screws and nyloc  nuts to keep it clamped  together?
 
Many people report having to tighten the screws regularly!    I'm 
lucky..bought ONE  from Corvair UnderGround  in 1999  and  it's still pumping  with no 
leaky!  
 
At least 18,000 miles so far..

If you live in a HOT  area.. then a return line would be good on  the 
mechanical too! [ factory did it  later on ]
