The fuel pump on my 360 has failed (blown diaphragm i'm guessing as the 'weep hole' sprays gas over the engine when cranking). Ordered a replacement mechanical pump, but found a Facet electric pump in my pile of old parts in the garage (taken off a previous SJ).
Considering putting this inline instead of the mechanical pump (running off a ignition hot wire, via relay), but had a couple questions.
a) The obvious mounting spot is as close to the tank as possible, so under the body. But was concerned about the possibility of our local weather (very wet, often having to drive through deep water, and mud) shorting out the pump.
b) I'm a cheap MFer + blanking plates for the mechanical pump on an AMC 360 aren't... common over here. So was considering just removing the arm from the failed pump and remounting it as a "dummy" unit instead.
Thoughts?
