Buying a High Tech

Interesting update on that Sal! I assume from that the Comp cars came with a mechanical pump as well as the electric in the trunk? Was it dual electric one pump feeding the other, or separate or what? The dual pump setups I have seen, mounted in the trunk, had no mechanical pump and no fuel gauge. It worked as I described above, primary/secondary. Perhaps THAT is not period correct for the 30 or so original Comp cars?

It works like I said. Take a look at any original car's twin pumps. The lines are simply teed together. They both run at the same time.

S/Cs had the mechanical and electric for sure. Comp cars might have just run the electrics all the time. Never looked into that really.
