John:
After I store my car for the winter (my baby sleeps inside when
it gets yucky outside) I manually prime the carbs with the priming lever
on my <ahem> stock fuel pump. Otherwise the cranking times are long. A
fuel pump would almost instantly prime the carbs. Yes, the chipmunks
powering the stock fuel pump need a kick in the backside after
hibernating all winter. <Sigh> Good help is SO hard to find.
OTOH, when the car has at least been occasionally driven, I
*barely* touch the key and she starts right up. Try *THAT* with fuel
injection, technophile weenies!!!!!
Luddite and proud of it,
Vance

Okay, in light of the discussion going on, I'll throw out this
question. Other than reliability and avoiding the problem of having
fuel drain into the sump, what are the advantages to converting to an
electronic fuel pump, especially if you are running stock carbs?
