1937 Ford V8-60: Installing a 6V Electric Fuel Pump

- Welcome back to the Quick Speed Shop. Today I am trying for the third time to get this 1937 Ford V8-60 hp running. After determining the stock mechanical pump was in need of significant repair I have installed an electric pump to see if I can get the car running. Did I make it? Watch and find out!

On my 1941 Ford the electric pump pressure was too high (and caused flooding) so I added a pressure regulator and set It at roughly 2 PSI. That fixed the flooding problem. Really nice car--
Thank you. I haven't really worked on the car since the video, but hoping to get back on it soon.
@@QuickSpeedShop I originally put a cylindrical coil but decided to keep the car original and had Skip Chaney rebuild the original coil. My car starts as soon as you hit the starter button now.
Sorry, that was Skip Haney (you probably already know about him, but just in case) 29436 Taralane Drive, Punta Gorda, FL 33982; Phone 941-505-9085 and 941-673-6698. Such a nice car, I hope you keep it original (electric fuel pump is okay with car-show judges). This guy does a great job of putting the umph back into the original Ford coils.
@@williammiller9499 I know about Skip. I'm actually going to swap the car over to all 85 hp drivetrain soon. The 60 hp is really tired and waterpumps are a big problem. The car will remain stock, swapped with all original Ford 85 hp parts.
Nicely done. I like these old iron vids.
My '36 has a block off plate where the fuel pump went and has a 6v electric fuel pump on it like yours. However, when I gave it the beans the other day, the fuel pump rod started making a tinging sound, apparently hitting against something, maybe in the baffle? I guess I might need to put a manual pump back on it. May put a bad one on it just to keep the rod from hitting something? Also, thought about putting both a good manual fuel pump and a electric fuel pump. That away in case one fails, I still got the other one to keep it going.
If you can find a good mechanical pump I'd just run that one and use the electric as a booster on startup.
Good job!.
Keep 'em comin'. Great stuff.
I think you're going to need a fuel pressure regulator. I had to put one on the engine you now own using the same pump as you're using. The carbs can't handle the pressure.
I'll try one, but as we discussed on the phone, I think the 60 is coming out and your 59AB is going in!
could you share me a link of that kind of regulator? I'm using a car with carb & electric pump and I feel more fuel usage than mechanic pump usage.
What brand of fuel pump did you use?
I don't remember, this video is several years old.
So where does the black ground wire connect
I used a self tapping screw and just grounded it to the frame.
Is it normal that the fuel pump makes that noise when is pumping ???
Yes, electric pumps make some noise when they run.
@@QuickSpeedShop but mine is super noisy, i have it in my BMW E21 and sometimes i can hear ir with the engine running and inside the drivers cabin with de windows closed. Do i have a bad fuel pump or just need to bolt it into a rubber surface ???
@@luckyspray That pump is probably in the tank and if it is making that much noise it is probably going bad.
@@QuickSpeedShop i have a electric fuel pump, is installed inside the engine hood, near the left front wheel. Is it too far from the gas tank ???
@@luckyspray Usually you want it as close to the tank as possible. Honestly I know absolutely nothing about that BMW, how it is layed out in terms of fuel system.
After modify the pump how you feel the car? is using more gasoline than before? or same fuel usage? how many psi is your pump ?
I actually haven't driven the car with new pump. The fuel system still needs work, but the engine has other issues currently keeping the car off the road.

@@QuickSpeedShop did u put a return fuel line?
I love the videos
