I'm about to get one and need to know what size I need. They come with pickup of -10, -8, -6 and -6, -8 for return. What sizes should I use for my combo? I'm installing a holley blue pump and all new fuel lines also. Thanks.

-08 AN return line?
That seems a little big.

-08 AN feed,and -06 AN return will be fine.

Get a good regulator also.

no, its one a buddy gave to me off one of his track cars. I had the car running with the EFI pump for awhile, and we had it regulated down to 6lb. The EFI pump burned up so we're changing the whole fuel system. and the 750 holley carb is coming off too. We have a Pro Form/Holley combo carb we're putting on. The car pulls like a raped ape with this pro form carb so we're gonna rejet it and use it Like this carb here http://truckworld.tenmagazines.com/How-To-Tech/02_holley_upgrade/holley_upgrade.html

I've done it a couple of different ways. One one of my cars I used a stock pickup out of an older carbed stang and just clamped my aeroquip -6 line to it. One the other car, I drilled a hole in the bottom of the tank inside the baffled area and installed a radiused fuel cell bulkhead that hooks to a -6 braided line. -6 is probably fine for your car but -8 would definately be plenty if not a little overkill.
