I was just double checking, my 1958 step side with a rebuilt 283 could with stand an inline electric fuel pump below the fuel tank and it would not damage the diaphragm, of the original fuel pump, if it remained in series.
So every thing is in series (Fuel Tank) (Electric fuel pump)<-Fuel line-> (Mechanical fuel pump)<-Line-> Carburetor.

I had a healthy 350 in my 59 Suburban with dual tanks and just ran the stock mechanical pump on the engine, never had an issue in almost 20 years. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | I have done that for priming purpases with a spring loaded switch. You shouldn't have it running all the time, & it shouldn't be nesesary. It works good if you have a carb that goes dry & is hard to restart after setting for a spell.
