[AT] Part time trailer puller fuel system

[Louis Spiegelberg]

Farmer,

It is more than the fuel pump that you have to worry about if you keep the
fuel injection.  You have to wire the computer in to run the engine.  Mount
a speed sensor for the computer to read. I don't know where the O2 sensor
mounts, but you might have to deal with that. There may also be some other
sensors on the transmission, also.  IMHO, I think you will be better off to
swap the manifold and distributor from your old engine to the new engine.

	I have an old 1983 F-150 with a 302 V-8 (sure wish it was a 300 
straight 6) that I am uncomfortable with about long term durability due 
to various noises...  :-)   I don't want to get involved in a rebuild at 
this time.
I have a good 302 in an old station wagon (about 1985 IIRC) that my 
mother had bought and never drove. The wagon ran great and very quiet 
but the in tank fuel pump failed and she never had it fixed. It has TBFI 
engine and as I seem to recall that it used about 40 to 45 PSI pressure 
to feed it??? I never owned a Ford TBFI engine and never had to work on 
that part of one.
	My old truck on the other hand has a standard carb on it and I
thought 
about just switching manifolds and using the carb but that is also more 
than I want to get involved with right now since it is a V-8. Also the 
TBFI would probably get better mileage. Does anyone make a replacement 
high pressure fuel pump that will mount outside of the tank? Or is 
heating too much of a problem outside? If I could have a son-in-law swap 
the complete engine over and add a different fuel pump that would keep 
it simple but I'm not sure that is an acceptable approach. I have never 
seen such an after market pump listed...
