[T3] Why is it that when I got my 73 SB I never had to turnthekey severa...

[Doug Brashear]

Just saw you all were talking about this...
I have to do the same with my '73 Fasty, but for me it's just 3 times. After the 3rd it starts easily and runs like a champ until I turn it off. I had to do this with the original fuel pump but also have to do it with the brand new Airtex pump I have. My tank has been cleaned and sealed, I have all new hoses, and I'm good about changing the fuel filter. I have an analog, inline fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail and my fuel pressure readings are right where they should be. It seems that the FI relay is maybe not running the pre-start prime as long as it could. If I just sat there and turned the key on and off several more times I hear the bubbles in the tank coming from the return line. 
Just thought I'd share since you all were talking about it. Hope all is well with you all!
