Hello all. I'm new to StangNet, and happy to be on board. I've had my mostly stock 88 gt convertible for years; I restored it myself, used it as a daily driver for 6 years, and recently converted it to carb ( and loving it!). I've got a question for the carb guys- what size fuel line and gph fuel pump would you recommend for a 650 cfm carb on a 302? Seems to be starving after hard acceleration. When I go to shift during these circumstances, the engine wants to stall. I'm currently using the factory efi fuel line and a Mr gasket 40 lph pump. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
