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 |

Oh well, thanks Ron. It was to easy to work.
Ok, finally got it worked out, the engine came with braided fuel lines with AN fitting, and an inline filter and pump. Laid everything out and figured out the fittings I needed. Summit racing had everything....order placed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I found a fitting to connect the in and out supply at the FI pump together, eliminating the FI pump. Found a fitting to plug the return line. Ordered a new filter screen for the inline filter, and I have enough lines with AN fitting to connect the carb pump to the supply line and then up to the carbs with the filter inline between the pump and carbs. $40 in fittings and the fuel lines will be done. Thanks for the help, Jeff |
