Now that the rainy season approaches, and I've done all I can about the trucks windshield wiper system (new arms, blades, connector grommets, and supply hose), it still isn't doing its job right. It will get most of the way across the initial sweep, and I'll have to turn it off to return to the down position. So here's my question- The fuel pump doesn't have the vacuum back up, so I'm running on just the vac supplied at the carb base. (This is a rebuilt '56 235 on my '51 3100). The fitting on the carb has a T fitting for the vac. I want to get an electric pump, but the wife is nixing the $220 right now. Would it be worth buying the $90 fuel pump with vacuum? Bad side of this is it has a nearly brand new fuel pump, so I don't really need one. But I sure as hell don't like driving in rain with useless wipers. Yes, I know the electric would be better, but that's not going to happen til Spring is over at my house. Thanks for any input on this, folks! Lee
