Mechanical or Electric Fuel Pump?
If you have a higher end carbureted street combination that demands more fuel delivery than that of a mechanical pump
but dont want to run an electric all the time, there is a solution. By incorporating an electric pump in the fuel line near the fuel
tank and wiring in a switch at the dash, you can have the benefits of both a mechanical and electric pump . When driving on the
street and the demand is low or moderate, the mechanical will be sufficient, if more fuel is needed as with heavy street driving or
racing just flip the switch and the fuel delivery will be increased via the electric pump. When working off of just the mechanical
pump it will draw the fuel through the lines like normal including being able to draw through the in line electric pump. When the
electric pump is engaged it will push the fuel through the mechanical pump right up to the carburetor. Please note this
combination only works with the Stage 1 455 fuel pump. Use TA 1534B Stage 1 (mechanical) and TA MAL 4140 (electric) fuel
pumps for this combination.
Combinations that are less than 500 hp should be fine with a mechanical pump only. Combinations up to 600 hp can take
advantage of the mechanical/electric combination mentioned above. HP levels above 600 hp should use electric pumps only.
Improve your performance, fuel economy and driveability with one single upgrade. TA Performance Fuel Injection
Systems are state-of-the-art, incorporating the performance features that you want with the quality of OEM systems for ease
of installation and dependability. Intake ships plumbed as shown and all necessary hardware, software, wiring and
instructions are included. The system will need to be installed, some fuel lines will have to be altered and added, some minor
fabrication will be involved, then the combination will need to be initially tuned by a shop with a chassis dyno. After the initial
tune, the system will be able to compensate for weather and elevation changes, etc. Results vary based on each combination
but 6-8 more miles per gallon are average and 20-75 HP gains have been reported.
