[Tigers] Fuel pump question

Just as an aside, this all could be a  red herring. I had my engine built
and we failed two cams right on the startup. Actually one starting up on the
dyno for a break in and the next rebuild after about 25 miles. Turned out to
be due to using flat tappets and the new oils not being up to the task. Went
to roller rockers and Rotella T oil  and so far no issues on the 3rd
generation rebuild.

Thanks for all comments, they are very helpful. Yes, they knew it was a
tiger rebuild; they know the car already from a few repairs done there. I
assume they knew it has an electric pump after putting the motor back
together and into the car. I'll keep the list posted.
