Wired vs. unwired for the dino juice
When this beast eventually does get plopped down into it's final home between my Elky's frame horns, I may end up going electric on both the water and fuel pump...depending on my checking account balance at the time.

Verses...
picking up a $25 O'Reilly fuel pump and pushrod, lubing them up and running some rubber hose to feed the beast some dino juice.
That is..if my cam actually has a lobe to crank the mech fuel pump up and down...still need to determine that.
In the meantime, I may just hunt around for an electric pump to mount on my engine test run stand. Who knows what some intensive pricelining and ebaying may reveal.
