    My 51 Merc is close to being drivable it has a late 1954 Chrysler 331 Hemi in it. The problem I have is no seems to make a mechanical fuel, really dont want go electric. I might if I have to. Has anyone used the Hot Heads adapter that adapts a 318 fuel pump ? Are there any cross references/ part numbers of any other fuel pumps? My friend said Edlebrock might have one I can't seem to find it.[​IMG]Thanks in advance.[​IMG]

    Yes, I used the Hot Heads adapter and bought their 318 pump. Works perfect. '52 331 in my '33 Plymouth coupe.

    If you have a drill press and a band saw make your own. LA fuel pumps are available everywhere.
    I've even seen guys make them from plywood......,:eek:

    there's been problems with the OEM F/Ps for years. The adaptor & LA is the way to go.

    I got the adapter and fuel pump from Hot Heads and it pushed the fuel pump out to far and hit my Hurst C202 motor mounts. I ended up going with an electric one.
