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

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.

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.
