Awesome! Really want to convert mine over now.
That's cool. Ya, it is a pretty fun upgrade that adds a good bit of reliability as well. Good luck!
Hey benben I'll be looking forward toward your video.
Nice install, & well thought layout, & design. & thank You for telling why You choose this routing for the fuel lines; As well electrical routing. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words. Hope all is well with you and your many projects as well.
@@EndWrenchRookie Thanks, & yes all is going well with all of my projects; Silverado is all good now. I'm into fixing up my 1959 M-F 50 tractor ( Gasser ) Nothing major but she is do for a respray; It will be a rattle can job, & I have all the paint, Decals, & I just installed a new seat cushion with a new backrest as well; I also have all new gauges to put in as well as a two piece center trim piece for the front grille. & then there is new storage shed I'm building now to free up my workshop space of lawn equipment; as well as my breezeway, & I'll be building a new lean to to store both tractors in, & 1 storage shed to be refurbished, & 1 to be demolished with some of it being repurposed. It sounds like allot but hopefully I'll be done with it by late summer. Take care, & I'll be looking forward to seeing videos on the 67 Vair. I still have your video from 5 months ago to watch on my save to watch latter. Again thanks for your reply.
I added electric to a '65 Monza. I used a fuel filter at the tank outlet, then to the external fuel pump(mounted up front not in the engine bay), the ground wire was there but the power wire went from a switch to an oil pressure switch on the engine back to the fuel pump. So a lot of wiring. I was going to add the power from the ignition switch but that was not going to work. I was going to install a better fuse block but didn't have the money at that time. The best thing is I can use the switch without starting the car in the winter to prime the carbs and then starting the car. I did use an impeller style inline pump so it was quiet but did cost a bit more. Quite worth it. The oil pressure switch I used was for a Vega. I refuse to use an inertia switch having repaired so many of them for no reason other than someone hit a bump. Not a good idea.
That's cool. Interesting layout. I really enjoy hearing about other people ideas and designs. Thanks for sharing!
How much would you charge to do this for my 66 Corvair???
Good question. I cannot speak for your local mechanics, but I would say be prepared for a full day of labor, at their rate, plus parts. Myself, I do not work on customer cars. My goal for this channel is to help inspire folks to work on their own projects. Thanks for watching!
What is the pump?!? Part number?
The fuel pump is from California Corvair. It came with a pre-filter and a mounting kit. Here is the link:
californiacorvairparts.com/fuel-system/4545-electric-fuel-pump-low-pres.html.
I have run this pump on 3 different Corvairs now without issue. I prefer the "humming" noise to the "thumping" noise of other makes.
