Hello everyone, I am brand new to this forum and new to Buicks. I am getting back into the old car hobby after a hiatus of 20 years or so. I had a '48 Chrysler from about '85 to '95, but then took a break until now. I have just acquired a '41 Buick Super 4-door, and, of course, I have many questions. In the interest of trying not to be too annoying, I am going to start out with only one question.
I bought the car from a dealer who had no history on the car. After buying it, I discovered that it has an electric fuel pump in the line, back near the tank. with an on/off toggle switch mounted under the dash. I have searched on this forum a bit to try to find out what the idea is behind such a modification, but I am still confused about how to use this my best advantage. I have read that people have installed an electric pump to help with vapor lock, and also just to help with cold starting to avoid a lot of cranking to get gas into the carbs. I would be very grateful for any help in understanding what the purpose is of this modification, and the best way to use it to my advantage. Thanks in advance!
Thanks so much for your help!
