<VV> FITTING CORVAIR ELECTRIC FUEL PUMPS

[shortle]

Hi Carl (down under),
I prefer to use a "dummy" center section of the original fuel pump. Wes Jewett (he advertises in the Communique) makes a nice unit. This way the engine still looks stock and the fuel lines are in their original location. You just have to disassemble an old fuel pump and substitute the original center with his. And remove the fuel pump push rod out of the engine. Out of curiousity, where are you mounting your new electric fuel pump on your RHD Corvair? I hope this is helpful. Good luck!
