You will need a suitable low pressure gauge to "tee" in to the fuel line at the carburetor.The only time I've used an electric fuel pump in the past was to prime the carburetor, it was switched on/off and I didn't bother with a regulator.I use a mechanical fuel pump alone with no problems.You may have carburetor issues as well causing flooding.Needless to say in any vehicle -always a good idea to have a fire extinguisher handy.Perhaps others who have electric fuel pumps could offer suggestions as to use of a regulator and recommend suppliers

I gather the previous owner installed an electric fuel pump.These are sometimes switched on/off and used for filling the carburetor for starting only.The fuel pressure at the carburetor should be between 3-4 1/2 lbs.If it exceeds this, flooding may be a problem. You may install a regulator if you wish to use the electric pump on a constant basis.

Very nice.Good choice on color.

-Interesting figure they came up with

I had a look at the auction vehicles on line.There are a few that looked interesting. They're not all restored.Sometimes of course people get carried away bidding and the prices go way beyond a vehicle's true value.Like you if I was in the area I would probably attend.It would be interesting nevertheless to see the auction results.I like to estimate the selling price having inspected a vehicle and sometimes I'm way off

-matter of fact,thats where I bought mine

I suppose igniton wrench sets are also a thing of the past.I still have a set I bought back in about 1960

Hi Robert-that looks like the coupe sitting just off the road south of Magrath.I had a look at it last year,talked to the young fellow - said he was going to restore it,didn't say when ,but things change
-
..Glad to hear you had an enjoyable trip to Wyoming.Great photos.The Galvanic table you posted is a good reference.Interesting that your manifold has copper pipe -I have 2 Edmunds manifolds - both for long block sixes.They are a llittle different in height but both have steel cast in the manifold.

If I had 36 - $100 bills and some nickels,dimes and quarters to stuff in an envelope -I'd probably just toss the change
-
..I see you are using the Langdon headers - How did you make out modifying the Phillips headers?- reason I'm interested is that I'm in the market for a set of headers and looking at options - I thought those Phillips headers looked okay.I saw the fuel pump clearance was a problem and you mentioned frame clearance as well?

...You might also check out forum member Jim Yergins recent thread on overheating - he found his head gasket was the problem.

Thanks Bill,I'll look forward to your photos. Ralph

Hi Bill,If you do get a chance to look at it,I'd appreciate it if you could get a couple more photos -I'm far from being a prospective buyer - just interested, Ralph

Great way to spend time on a sunny day-nice to have your family share your interests

...love the car,great project for someone

..getting back to the original posting,it's nice to see that a couple more of the elusive electric gas caps have come up for sale

...Have had the same problem - and just replaced it

..btw - I wasn't bragging

Hi Frankie,You can take my word for it.- I have an Edmunds manifold, the coolant passage is steel
-
Sorry about that -a typo -,I should know better than to try and multi-task This particular manifold does not have steel tubing to pass coolant,(used for heating the manifold)I gather Edmunds made quite a few versions.Others have steel tubing cast in the aluminum manifold.I based my response on the experience of having worked in a shipyard for 10 years and seeing what happens when brass and aluminum come in contact.I've seen aluminum reduced to a powdery residue.A more correct term may be galvanic action. It doesn't take much moisture to get things happening.I don't claim to be an expert,but as a rule of thumb, I would not assemble anything placing aluminum and brass in direct contact.In a dry climate maybe not so much of a concern:)
-
...interesting that Edmunds used a steel pipe for coolant when his manifolds...
-
..That's a nice looking Edmunds manifold.I'm surprised he has a brass plug inserted in the manifold rather than steel.This is generally not advisable as over a period of time the aluminum threads will disappear due to electrolysis
