Make sure you have a solid ground connection going to your fuel pimp. I killed two low pressure fuel pimps (carburetor) due to what I believe was a faulty ground connection. I ran a new ground connection about a year ago and nearly 10,000 miles later I haven't lost a fuel pimp. -- Steve On Jun 20, 2012, at 8:34 PM, "vladivdracula" <lordvadus@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > My reason is that, today, the fuel pump failed on my car. Were it carbureted, I could have limped it home to fix it. Instead, I had to have the car towed. I also maintain that the difference between stock and a carb has to be biased towards the carb. The last run of an old technology is more reliable than the first generation of a new one; that, and I'm not impressed with the Stage II conversion. Were it not performed for necessity, I'd have never done it. A big thanks to Steve for loaning me the screwdriver to remove the Stage II plate from my car. I hated that thing because, a few times, it caused people to mistake my car for one "built" in Houston... > > Per the topic at hand, I'm more fond of the idea of a single-carb setup than a two carb one. > > For the mean time, I have to arrange a date to bring my car to DMCMW now that I know that the source of my issue was the fuel pump.
