Default Re: fuel delivery question...

I just recently had the same problem, and this is what i did:
I dropped the tank, and got rid of the pump in there. I connected a piece of 3/8" rubber fuel line where the pump was. (make sure it goes as far down as the part for the pump). I put the tank back up, put an in line filter in, bolted the pump right to the piece where your old fuel filter probably will be, and ran my line (i used a 3'8" rubber line) along the bottom of the car, right to the carb. Works great no problems. took all of about an hour and a half.

I'm with you on modifying the sump, but a 351 ain't gonna be happy with 3/8" fuel line.

With that list of mods, that 80gph WILL NOT be enough!
This is what I did with my 351w:

Sumped the fuel tank
Holley blue pump(110gph) and regulator
-8AN hose from sump to regulator
-6AN hose from regulator to 750 carb.

If I would change anything, and I know JESTER is going to disagree wit this, but I would go with a Mallory electric pump instead of the Holley blue. The noise of the Holley pump will drive you INSANE!!!

Also, if you decide to run all new fuel lines, go with ALL AN hose from back to front. Forget using aluminum hardline unless you have a bender or lots of patience.......which I DO NOT!
I started running hardline.....went to make my first bend and it kinked!!! I said #@!**^ this and ordered 20ft. of -8AN hose and 6ft. of -6AN hose...........and had JESTER install my hose ends
