I run a mechanical Carter pump. Rated at 6-8 psi. I also ran new 1/2" aluminum fuel line from the tank.

i already have a holley blue so what setup would i need going from the tank to carb?

Get a holley regulator if you havent already.Then get a pick up from the tank,-08AN from the tank to the pump,then -08AN from the pump to the regulator. Use an inline filter after the pump.And from the regulator to carb,-06AN lines.

what pick up should i use on the tank...would a pick up out of an 85 mustang work?

anyone?

 

[ohyouknow]

anyone?

i dont remember the name of the pick up i have in my white car i will check.........what kind of power are you planning to make? natural, spray, forced induction????


on my white car i ran two pick ups with two holley blues then y'd the lines into one -8 to the regulator up front, also two inline filters at the back...........i did this so incase one pump went down on the spray i wouldnt be sweeping up parts hopefully

i think im going with a t3 turbo as of right now...around 475hp

where can i find the pick up? would one out of a 85 work?

I made my own pick up tube using my stock one.

 

[Modular2v]

wow that was alot of help.....it doesnt look that hard.....that one rubber line is already on there right?

90 notch did u use most of the stock fuel lines leading up to the firewall ( just before the fuel rail harness)?

 

[Modular2v]

will i need to wire up a switch to kick on my holley blue?

Yea the rubber hose is already there. I just add the 1/2 aluminum line. I ran 1/2 aluminum line from front to back. I'm running a holley blue and a mechanical carter super strip pump. I only turn the holley blue on when I'm running Nitrous.

 

[Modular2v]

so could i just run a line from the pickup to my holley blue?

Yes my dad has it this way with just a holley blue. Well know I think he has a BG280 pump on it now.
