New to Club Cobra....???'s about origional fuel filters/pumps

[1985 CCX]

Ron is right!

I have the 240's and they are expensive and repairs????
Might be better served to use inoperable units as decoration and use newer units for use.

Best of luck!

Ok so

So in todays builds they aren't really used if/since you have a fuel gage in the dash other than building a period looking/functional build.

I want my build to be as close to a true 427SC that I can, for prosperity/traditional purposes. So here is my thought:

Since I am running a carb set up I only need one pick-up line coming out of the gas tank to feed the mechanical pump at the block. Since I don't need a return line back into the tank could I use that return tube to feed the SW electricals? Assuming the return line goes to the bottom of the tank. Or did the origionals have an additional line running out of the tank somewhere (i imagine at the bottom) specifically to feed the SW?

I probably would never use the SW pumps unless I foolishly let the gas gauge reach EMPTY. So if I never use them is there any damage by never using them? i guess I could purge them every now-and-then...

Your thoughts?

Repos or inoperable origionals?

Best bet is to cruise eBay. No repops are made that I am aware of.

2 good rebuilt 240's and the plumbing could set you back a grand in today's market, so it is expensive bling.

I've seen duds that could be had for a hundred or so. There are rebuild kits and guys that do rebuilds out there...but $$$.

Ron I thought you said:

"Modern day equiv made by Facit (or the old Bendix) are used by Shelby and others in their replicas."

Where do I get those?

Equivalents...not repros

They look quite a bit different, but they have the same form factor.

They are current production. Let me look for a pic and link
