Finally getting to 'play' with the new to me 1968 Ford 3000 gasser I picked up a few weeks ago. One thing I noticed when looking it over then was that there was no choke cable. There is an in-line fuel filer and what I believe is an electronic fuel pump. It is connected to ground and a stud on the starter solenoid. It 'whirrs' when the key is turned to 'ON' before I hit ignition.
Starting it cold means finding the right combination of running fuel pump time and throttle position. Generally, the throttle needs to be almost closed. But it runs strong and smooth.
So, my two questions would be:
1.) Since this isn't gravity feed anymore, will it seriously affect fuel usage?
2.) Should I look at taking it back to the stock set up?
What are your thoughts? Thanks.
