I also converted it to an electric fuel pump. All the new replacement mechanical pumps are garbage. They make a bypass plate for the mechanical pump, so I rebuilt and prettied up the one I have. All it does is route fuel now.

The Corvair Guru's say "No rubber under the hood for fuel!"....so I did everything in metal line. Word to the wise, I bought steel line which was a BITCH to bend and flare. I'd try aluminum next time around.

One of the Guru's also pointed out, "Your fan looks cut down". Sure as heck, it's supposed to be 11.25" and has been cut to 9.5". The same fan mod Yenko did to his cars. Supposed to take less HP to spin it. Someone really put effort into this. You simply can't buy one and only certain people will attempt to cut magnesium. I guess someone REALLY wanted this mod.
