Re: Fuel Pump

I used a Holley Red electric fuel pump on my '67 K/10 Suburban w/454. It worked real good, until a carb fire started in the engine bay. I did not think the Holley recommended oil pressure threshold cut-off switch was necessary. I was wrong. The electric pump still kept pumping, making things worse. Some guys with fire extinguishers helped knock it out. My other mistake was reporting it as a claim on my insurance. They ''totalled'' the truck. I got peanuts and Suburban with a salvage title.
