<VV> Elec fuel pump

[Dennis Pleau]

I have a Greenbrier that has an original style pump.  The person I bought it
from had a very large car collection so sometimes it didn't get driven for
months.  He installed an electric pump controlled by a toggle switch, so he
could prime the carbs before he started cranking.  He did this on a lot of
his cars.  

One time on a CNM outing, we had just climbed a long grade and stopped at a
rest stop at the top which was at least 12,000'.  

After 15 or 20 minutes we started down the other side.  Just when I got back
on the highway the FC ran 'out of gas'.  I flipped the toggle switch, the
engine re-fired and I flipped the switch back off.  The best of both worlds.


The other time I had a vapor lock problem was in Madrid, NM on the 4th of
July on our way back to Albuquerque after the Santa Fe show.  Debbie's
mother was with us.  I'm really glad I had an ice chest full of ice water
that I poured over the pump and input line and got it started pretty
quickly.  I would have never heard the end of that one...
