Install the electric fuel pump at the tank end of the fuel line as close to the tank as possible.

IMHO the best place for an electric fuel pump is hanging on the wall of the garage. A properly maintained fuel system does not need an electric fuel pump.

TomO... gotta love you 
I could not agree with you more. Noneopf my cars have an electric pump. Started up the '36 yesterday. First time since late February. Pumped the peddle once, pulled the choke, hit the floor switch, less than five seconds the car was running.

The electric fuel pump is nice to have as a backup for speeding up the starting process. It also comes in handy for those rare occurrences of vapor lock.

Pull the choke when you shut the engine down. That will slow evaporation.

Tweetsmith01,
My experiences have been similar to yours. If I want to avoid excessive cranking of the engine after the vehicle has been parked for a week or two, I will use a little starter fluid so the engine will fire right up!

The electric fuel pump and inline filters on the line from the tank, tend to leak a small amount of vacuum making it harder to prime the carburetor. My experience is similar to Kube's. My Mercury was parked by my son last Sept. and the first week in May he went into the garage to start it. It started within 15 seconds or abount 20 turns of the starter. Since then, it just takes one turn of the starter to start it after sitting a week. Our cars have one thing in common, a one piece fuel line from the tank to the flex hose.

I only use my electric for 5 or so seconds before pressing the starter button. I have not yet needed it due to the stock mechanical pump malfunctioning and I keep a spare one of those in the trunk.
