I did an engine swap recently and have run into some troubles. I pulled that ratty 305 throttle bodied engine out and put in a nice 355 with a Road Demon Carb.on top. I wanted to know if I can hot wire the "in'tank" fuel pump to run all the time while the ignition key in theON position. The reasonI ask is since I'm running a carb.now, the ECM does not know when to turn the fuel pump back on, I only get that little bit of fuel at the begin when turning the car on and then the pump never comes back on. I also wanted to know if this would be safe? I dont know if the pump will get to hot and cause a fire in the tank and I know that wouldn't end to well for me. Anyones insight would be helpful. </P>


Thanks</P>

If the car had fuel injection before, the fuel pump puts out way too much pressure for your carb.
