Reply to "Electric Fuel Pump to Prime carb after car sits for period of time"

Hi Folks, was out of town for a number of weeks so electric pump installation was delayed. I have installed high near the fuel line coming out of the top of the fuel tank leading into mechanical pump. The pump is rated max PSI of 4.5. I have not yet secured the pump to the firewall to ensure it’s operating correctly….. doesn’t seem so? I’ve checked the wiring and confirm it has 12v leading to the pump and pump is making noise and can feel it’s operating when when toggle switch is activated. In my mind doesn’t seem to be pulling/pushing fuel to carb when turned on. It is a flow through pump not sure if high enough psi to get fuel to carb. Questions: is max 4.5 psi high enough to get fuel to carb for boost and is mounting correct position on fuel line out of tank to mechanical pump? Or, should it be installed on output side of mechanical pump leading to carb?

Thanks for your thoughts, Ron
