So I think my fuel pump is going out. Maybe... it does not stay primed. If I pressurize the tank fuel will flow and the car will run after the pressure is removed. But if you let it sit for a day or two, no flow. The last time I had it running I just had it idling and after 5 min it died... the few times before I drove it to breakfast and back no problem (till the next day I wanted to go out that is)

So any help would be great. If it is the pump, what should I get? Where from?

Thanks in advance!

I run the following rotary pump from CB Performance with dual 40 IDFs:

What pressure? 3.5 or 5.5lbs?

Thanks!

I'm running the 3.5 psi with the same carbs.

Test your fuel pump first to make sure that is the issue. Have it pump gas into a bucket.

What is upstream of your pump? Is your filter clogged? Is the fuel sock in the gas tank loaded with rust? Do you have a kinked hose under the gas tank? These are all things to check before assuming that your pump is bad. Check the cheap stuff, test the expensive stuff.

+1, 3.5

As stated by others, 3.5 is what you want.

Also concur with Vacca Rabite, check everything else first.
