Ok, I have read a number of posts about the fuel pump issue with superchargers and the need for boost referencing. The other day, and old timer let me know that I should get a marine mechanical fuel pump for an FE (he said because they are still around), and I would have an automatic way to reference the blower because the marine pump would have a nipple on the side of the case to hook the line to?

Anyone ever use one of these?

I have read some posts on boost referencing a regular fuel pump. Is it worth it to screw around with one of the original dual vacuum units?

EZC 292, VS57 C, Modified Teapot Carb (per Jim Moody's old website and Paxton Mcculloch instrucitons)
