[DeTomaso] mechanical fuel pump

Nothing depresses me more than obsolescence of automotive technology from my heyday...guess I'm next actually.

Dear Bill,

1) the typical hipo mechanical fuel pumps are no longer available. 
Holley and others don't make hipo mechanical fuel pumps for Clevelands
2)  the remaining readily available option is the plain vanilla stock fuel pump, which is adequate for modest and moderate use, but it is limited for hipo engines
3)  Julian's note about the McCarr (?) super hipo and pricey high output mechanical Cleveland fuel pump is correct.
4)  One other option is to have an older Holley, etc, hipo fuel pump rebuilt.  That is the option that I will be using in short order.
5)  I am told that it is possible to somehow use a low power (?) electric fuel pump at a cost less than the McCarr unit.  IIRC, Jack DeRyke discussed this.

                     Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
