Sorry about your fuel pumps Philippe. The electric pump shouldn't have any
trouble with today's gas. My '83 was converted and has a Carter electric
pump in the back. No mechanical pump and no problems after about 5 years. I
have always been told NOT to buy NOS fuel pumps because the rubber may dry
out and cause the same problems as on your old pump. I don't know anything
about new pumps for a 392 though.
Good luck,
Rob
PS: When centrifugal force pulls me to the side I will now grab the strap
and yell "Holy Lavaliere!"
