I do the same thing. The first click is to turn it on and prime it, and the second to turn the engine over. That's what you're supposed to do anyways.

Yeah, it is noisy.
So noisy that anyone standing outside can hear it also.

Some pumps are louder than others, even if they are stock. But if yours has a lot of miles on it then it would not be a bad idea to have one on hand just in case.

Got a Holley also... Very loud; also with a crappy alternator you can hear the pump go up and down when you're at a light with the flashers on.

FP I assume is fuel pressure.

And how would I do that without a fuel pressure gauge in my car?

Yeah mine is very loud as well, with 140k on it, maybe I should replace it. 255 in tanks arent too pricey.

Click to expand...

you are correct. FP is fuel pressure.

some guys have permanent FP gauges. if using an isolator, it can be mounted inside the car. if not, lots of folks mount them under the cowl.

i tossed that idea out in case you had a gauge already. some have rigged lines to run a gauge to the cowl area, with a diagnostic gauge.

whatever you do, do it safely. good luck.

well i have a cowl induction hood. figure i'll hook it up to the shrader valve near the number 5 cylinder on the line, run it up under the hood and just tape it down under the windshield wiper and take a quick cruise at 50 down the parkway
