carb fuel pump

I was wondering if I need an electric pump as well as a mechanical pump on a carb setup, or if the engine mechanical pump is all I need. I was under my v8 donor car today and noticed an electric pump as well as the mechanical. whether the electrical was being used or not I dont know.

Re: carb fuel pump

If you've got a carb pickup in the tank, you don't need an electric pump.
