Re: 460 runs then dies
How long was the run? I’m getting about 3 miles /10 minutes before the bowl runs dry currently. We’re you wide open for awhile when they cut out?

Also, some pumps are better pushers than pullers, and some vice versa. If you convert to an electric pump, make sure you read if it's a pusher or a puller, meaning: pusher = likes to be mounted near the tank and pushes fuel toward the engine, puller = likes to be mounted near the engine and pulls the fuel from the tank. No electric fuel pumps do both well, it's either one or the other. Some vehicles have both types of pumps. |

Re: 460 runs then dies
In my case it was about 4 miles @5000 + rpms on a 90 degree + day. Shepard's case was similar but I don't have his exact details. On page 33 of my Vc 460 thread he tells his tale of fuel pump woe.One other note here is when I was using the Gen 1 VC 460 with the stock cam the stock pump was OK but adding the torque cam,heavy head porting and adjustable main jet on the carb the troubles started. On the Gen 1 I was getting 60-65 MPG and the modded Gen 3 more like 40-45 MPG.

If you go the electric route, make sure you plumb a return line into the fuel line. It needs to be as close to the carb as you can get it and a smaller diameter fuel hose, that way you maintain pressure in the main line. |
