I decided to add an inline primer pump just to fill an empty carb and avoid cranking for 15 seconds.

My 350 is basically stock with a Quadrajet so I'm not worried about starving it for fuel. The car still has its original 2-bbl 5/16" fuel line. If I had more than about 350hp and ran full throttle, this approach probably would be stupid.

I used a Facet Cube pump (thanks to Kenth for suggesting) that was configured for 7 psi max pressure and "flow-through". I also decided to use the biggest inlet and outlet fittings available, which were 3/8 NPT. Their PN is 40109 and I ordered it from Pegasus who stocks a lot of their pumps: Link to Pump Listing

I wanted to install it with hard lines but without a lift, rubber fuel line had to happen to accommodate the limitations of my elder body.

I mounted it near the fuel pump where the line was accessible and I could install a couple nutserts in the frame. I bought the rubber isolation mount and bent a bracket so I could mount it vertically. I didn't like hanging it sideways suspended by the rubber cushions. People have expressed a preference for mounting a pump near the tank but this one is rated to lift 60" so I'm optimistic it can generate enough suction to fill the carb. Hopefully the electric pump can push fuel through the mechanical pump.

I bought a fuel pump installation harness with a bigger relay than I need and installed a momentary switch wired to the accessory terminal on the fuse box. This way, it will only run when the key is in the ignition and a finger is on the switch.

It took me about 5 times longer than I expected and a lot more work and part scrounging than I want to admit.

Will it be worth it? I don't know yet. I will have to run it a few times to see how it works and gain confidence.

Basically, fingers crossed. I still need to strain-relieve the wires but so far, it acts like it's pumping gas.
