So my delema... I am installing an L28 with an n-47 head ( there is no mechanical fuel pump provision). Has anyone ran only the stock electric pump with SU carbs and had no issues. Any help would sure help as Im moving to Portland in 1 week and need to get this car running.

You can open up the head where it's filled in, install the eccentric and use the mechanical fuel pump. I've done this mod a few times in the past.

My huge fear as I seem to be prone to misfortune, is that I would damage the head in some way that would render it useless.. or worse.. metal shaveings get in the bottom end and fubar it as well. Im going to try the electric only first and see how things go. Worst case I buy the Holly and reg from Motorsport and install them.

IBZINYA,

I have a 260 that I run with a Holly electric pump installed at the tank that feeds my SU's. On the return line I have a fuel pressure regulator set @ 3. I have had no problems with mine....
