Most auto parts stores have, or used to have, electric fuel pumps that will work with a carburetor. Typically they're an oscillating or vibrating solenoid operated diaphragm type of pump.
Compared to more modern FI systems, This SE uses a high-volume, relatively low-pressure rotary vane type electric fuel pump.
I think the rotary vane Holley pump I found may actually work if all else fails.
If so, I plan to fabricate any hardware or brackets to install it as close as possible to the way the original pump was installed.
But I'm still curious if others here would do this, or if they've found a better substitute, or would they just suck it up and pay the $2K?
Happy Motoring, Mark
