[DeTomaso] Can I leave the fuel pump eccentric out if I'm using anelectic pump?

[Ken Green]

Asa,
 
    I'm putting an EFI system together and it requires a high pressure electric pump.  I guess I could just carry an extra electric pump if I feel like I need it.

If you are stranded in the middle of nearly nowhere, and can't get a 
replacement electric pump, chances are you can pick up a mechanical at 
nearly any auto parts store.  Leaving the eccentric in place and not 
used won't hurt, and in the case just stated, might actually help out, a 
lot.
