  You might check out an Airtex E8902.
May be available at Auto Zone.

  Ron is correct. You might try Amazon also. They usually trend at around $30. Good luck, Pat

  I installed a 6 volt Airtex E8902 on my '46 coupe in 2018, which I bought from Rockauto for $32.00. I only use it for "priming' after the car has sat for a number of days. It works well for me, has the right pressure, and is a "flow through" design, which allows the engine fuel pump to provide flow to the carb when the engine is running. I also used the metal fuel filter with threaded connection to the inlet of the pump.

  One source for a 6 Volt fuel pump that provides 2.0 to 2.5 PSI fuel pressure is Fifth Avenue Antique Auto Parts. This pump which includes a 30 micron filter can be wired up for either positive or negative ground. For more information or to order a pump, contact Randy Rundle at 785-632-3450.

  I was planning on adding a fuel pump with a toggle switch to my 36 Coupe. Any recommendation on the toggle switch and where did you install it on the dash? Would love to see a picture of where it is installed. Thanks.

  if you use a electric pump,
I would use a push button switch, so it shuts off when done priming ,
or wire it in so it goes off when engine starts.,
or if you are going to use as a main pump make it goes off when engine is shut off, for SAFETY SAKE,
I do not use one,
I would rather crank the engine to build up oil pressure, and not start the engine dry after sitting for
long periods of time,
hope this helps. 37RAGTOPMAN

  Put the toggle switch on the lower edge of the dash, driver's door side. Mount it so forward is on, back is off; Just like your brake pedal and gas pedal. Makes it easy to remember which is which! P.S. never have needed it; I just put one in the system in case I ever got so called " vapor lock", which after driving (2) 1950 v8's for thousands of miles( (one when I was 18 years old) I never got, and never heard of, until I joined the club about 8 years ago!! Is it a "Fairy Tale?" It is to me.

  Hello Harry.

The low-pressure Airtex E8902 installed on our '36 Ford works just fine. It is controlled by an on/off toggle switch under the dashboard.

Mounting it on the side of the chassis close to the gas tank is important, in my opinion.

The pump is protected with a cover plate made from a bread pan filched from my wife's pantry ........ can post a photo if that would help you.
