64vette 327 mechanical fuel pump conversion
Sick of replacing mechanical fuel pumps (3 in a year). Anyone have a suggestion for a good electric fuel pump conversion?

You must be buying some cheesy mechanical pumps....I've only changed one in the last 5 years and that was just to put in one with correct numbers for judging....

I was running a high pressure pump as I was running TPI. I mounted the pump on the rear frame cross bar in front of the rear license plate. I fed the electric pump from the tank with a filter between the tank and the pump. I also had an additional fuel filter between the pump and the factory fuel line at the rear of the car.
As John Z said in order to perform a "safe" installation there is more required than just mounting and wiring up the electric pump.
