Ok I've pulled my 2.7 with CIS to do a rebuild, I've got a 2.7 with carbs I'm installing while my motor is down, trying to make it to RRC.
So my question, can I install the carb fuel pump and just leave my FI pump in place, will the carb pump be able to pull the gas thru the other pump( power disconnected ) or will I have to take it out. Or should I just use the FI pump and install a pressure regulator. The FI pump is in the front trunk(75-76 location) was thinking of just mounting the carb pump on the firewall in the engine compartment. This is just a temporary swap so trying to keep it simple, and easy to change back. Thanks, Jeff |

It only take a little bit of hose to bypass around the FI pump.

I changed all my fuel lines to braided with AN fittings, so not quite that simple to bypass. Or maybe it is, do they make an AN coupler? But then can't remember if both sides are the same size. WTF am I doing......did you read the first post (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) I'm being like you Mike, putting as many motors in my car as I can. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) This will be #4 in 3 years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Jeff |

Your mistake was putting the same manufacturer's engine in over and over. If you want to "one up" me, put in a Yugo engine. I won't even attempt that one...
