August 13, 200321 yr comment_46916 Are you sure the pump is not getting power? The electric pump was installed by t he factory in the '73s to help withe the vapor lock problem. I am running just the electric pump on my Z and it works just fine. If your elect pump is shot, go to the bone yard and find a RX-7 that is carberated for sure not injected, and snag one of these . They work great and mine was only $15.00 . We even tried it on a tripple mikuni set up on a stroaker and it worked fine supplied all the fuel that was needed.

There will be a set screw on the side of the pump. get it loose then twist the cover counterclockwise it shoud pop off. Once that is off there will be a magnet then a gasket then the filter. :cheeky: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/7472-eletric-fuel-pump-bypassing/#findComment-46951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
