I want to assist the stock fuel pump with an electric one to eliminate long cranking when starting my 1930 after sitting for a few days/weeks. Ideas, suggestions?
Thanks!

Do a search on here, tons of discussions about fuel pumps, types, use, etc...

1929-32 FORUM
Mechanical - Engine, Trans, etc

if mine sits for a week, i pump pedal twice, then it fires up

Recommend a push button. That way it is not running all the time. The original mechaniical pump will work fine most of the time but it can get vapor locked. You should only have to hold it for maybe 5 seconds.
