    I've already swapped the timming covers my motor has a double roller timing chain and will not work with my Mechanical fuel pump essential ,
    so i was just wondering whats the cheapest electric fuel pump i can use And What do i plug my dipstick on the block from the old style oil pan,
    i put the front sump, front oil pickup tube and 1975 mercury comet timing cover on the motor,

    I'm running one of the Mr Gasket electric pumps. Very quiet, and no problems keeping my 302 fed....
