Hi, I just got my brand new (to me) 1950 pickup to fire. It has a 1955 2nd series 235 in it. Next I need fuel. I turned it over quite a bit and got it to sputter but fuel never hit the clear fuel line filter. As a source for fuel I placed a gas tank next to the fuel pump and put the fuel line in the tank to bypass everything beyond that.
My question: can I just get an inexpensive electric fuel pump to try to get this engine to run? I will rebuild the fuel pump later but want to get the engine running now.
Also, can I connect the fuel pump on the gas tank side of the existing fuel pump and leave the existing pump in place?
Thanks for any comments.
