Default Re: Day 2 Vega

That's another thing I was worried about. I may use a modern electric pump, hidden under the car, and mount the bellows pumps inside the car for looks. Either run dummy hoses to them or gut them and have fuel flow through.
The cool can will be mounted where the battery tray was, I've mounted new style plastic ones on customers street cars with no problems. But...you are right, we are talking about a big block Vega. So we will see.
Thanks for the input.

I've spoken to the Walboro engineer who was in charge of the duplex and triplex pumps. He did warn me that the rubber in them will not hold up to today's fuel and that rebuild kits are getting hard to find.

On the upside, it only seems to be the rubber bellows that fails and I did hear some talk at the MCACN show that somone may be producing an modern fuel friendly bellows.</div></div>
