fuel question. What is this?
Does anyone know what this is? It's screwed on the frame under the cab, the fuel line goes through it. It has two wires, one is grounded to the frame and one goes under the dash.
Just some info. 57 f100 302 with mechanical fuel pump. It makes a ticking noise when the key is in the on position (is this bad?).

That is an electric fuel pump of the Facet type AKA pulse fuel pump. They are used in many Military and Marine applications.

Yes, as long as it is ticking it is working and pumping fuel, those Facet pumps are not quiet. When they get near their end of life they will stop ticking/pumping and usually a light rap with the handle of a hammer will get them running again. When they do that it's time to replace it.
