What I did was run a flexible Airequip 3/8" line from the tank sending unit to my canister filter and then to the electric pump (both located at the rear near the tank). Then from the pump to the carb. With the Edelbrock mechanical pump, you would need a 3/8" line from tank sending unit to pump and then another 3/8" line from the pump to the carb. The original hard lines are all 5/16". The NHRA will allow that type of flexible line if it stays located somewhere between the frame rails and is therefore somewhat protected in case of a crash. It will withstand 250 psi and 350 degrees F. I'm not sure if a pre bent hard line in 3/8" is available or not. You could try Classic Tubes.

I got that Airequip blue flexible line locally from an area high performance parts shop. I know Summit and Jegs has it as well. Cost for me was about $3.75 a foot. I needed about 12 feet or so. Then there were the retainers, clamps and maybe some fittings bringing the total cost to about $90.

I would highly recommend one of those large canister filters with the replaceable element located near the tank. They're not cheap though ($50-75). Mine's a Mallory which is about $80 from Summit. It's about the only good Mallory part that I've ever bought except for maybe the coil.
