Title: 460 Ford fuel pump
Post by: 76 Wreidt on May 29, 2016, 02:15:53 PM

I need to replace the fuel pump on my boat and was wondering what some of you guys would recommend. I am running a stock 460 Ford. Thanks!

So I picked up the new fuel pump and I'm working on the vent. I couldn't find a 3" arrestor w/ barb fitting. The 4" won't fit under my hatch. So I got creative in the plumbing dept. do yo think this will work? I have it so if it vents fuel it will pour down into the carb flooding the motor, in theory right? What do you guys think?
