Fuel pumps - mechanical v electronic

[playwme]

It's not like a 253 auto is going to be a high powered race machine that needs high fuel pressure, tank baffels etc. etc.

I was going to make a comment earlier about the 253's "get................up....................and..... .............go" but figured it might hurt Blocker and WButes feelings.


Now that you've set the ball rolling though...........

I just love the crackle. They make enough power to light up one wheel on a quick u-turn and enough crackle to make every one look, thats all that matters

I don't think you need much pressure form the fuel pump I had a fuel pump pack it in on the way home from the mountains towing car trailer loaded with a Torana late Friday afternoon and couldn't get parts purchased 10feet of fuel pipe filled 20 lt drum made a hole in the cap for the pipe .syphon fuel from the drum on the roof to carby and she never mist a beat only problem was i had to fill drum at ever town seeing I was keeping the level to approx 3/4 so it didn't spash fuel all over roof .
And this was in my original HZ in about 84

Just to be clear, I wasn't trying to have a go at 253s or people who choose to run an electric fuel pumps.

My first wagon that I fell in love with was a 253 auto, all stock standard down to the original exhaust. Was nice smooth motor and made plenty of noise with the twin pipes. But awe inspiring she was not.

disconnect your carby from the fuel line and then crank it over, it comes out with a hell of a splash and volume!
agree with rodney, had an EK ute paddock basher with 20 Litres in back, no fuel pump.
