Why add a secondary electric fuel pump to an already fully functional mechanical fuel pump system?

EASY JOB! thank you bbodie52 & joelsplace for the info.
Next step fuel pump wiring and completing the heater system.

Nothing mayor happening, to busy at work and with the house and wedding

Hopefully soon more time for the Lakewood.
