Will a mechanical fuel pump work?

[enyawix]

My car will not start. I have spark but, no fuel. If it turns out to be my fuel pump can I use a mechanical fuel pump? That way I do not have to drop the tank. I am getting so tired of EFI related issues.

The only way u can use a mechanical pump is by converting to carb, along with the proper timing cover and the fuel pump eccentric that bolts to the front of the cam.

Yeppers. Droppin the tank is no biggie.

Good luck.

Yup,its not hard.

BUT you got me thinking....could you use a high pressure belt driven mech. pump with a return? Some of them pumps are capable of 200psi.
