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 the ON position.  The reason I 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.


Thanks


Josh

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