Jegs, Summit Racing, etc. You should also be able to find them on ebay.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Easy to make one - use the gasket as a guide. 3/16 or 1/4 ALUMINUM<br /> <br /> Personally, I would never rely on an electric pump by itself. Most use the electric pump in conjunction with a manual pump. Electric pump to start and then the manual pump to go.</div>

I am just going to use the electric pump. TY</div>

RR takes about 15 minutes.</div>
