I use a 1 quart fuel tank from JAZ and a single nozzle in the center of my tunnel ram manifold . I use a push button switch and give it a couple of shots when I am starting mine . A really good idea for an injected car you can throw away that squirt can !

I had to pull that pump and bought one from Spud. The pump in the picture just could not over power the check valve

If you are plumped into the intake you have to be very careful that the vacuum does not pull all the fuel in the tank into the intake. That is how I had mine set up originally, and I sucked half a fuel tank into the intake, contaminated the oil.

    I just looked at mine and Glen is right about it sucking fuel from vacume . I think that's why my pump has this little solenoid

spitzerscott:
BK, I thought about the fuel in the lines,  I didn't know how much alcohol would eat on the pump.  I'm going to give it a shot, I guess we'll know come spring.

BK:
 Most pumps now seem to be tolerant of alcohol. Did you use the Enderle primer fitting at the distribution block?
