KIC, I have had several fails with NOS mechanical pumps as well as "new" pumps bought from NAPA etc. I think they sit on the shelves so long the diaphragm's (?) wear out or so I've been told.

So I finally did go with a Carter electric (P4070 4-8psi), but did not run it through the old mechanical because I was told it would fill the oil pan with gas (it Did). My mechanical is still there but my fuel line just goes around it. I guess you could hollow it out and run the line through there for looks (I think that's what you meant)
