    Marty, I'm running a Mallory Pro-Comp 250 3/4" line to fuel log w/ 4ea. 3/8" lines to the carbs on my 8/71 w 1050's
    Clay Smith makes a Mechanical that puts out 160gpm if you want to bypass all the electrical hassels

    I swear by the product engineering fuel products. They are expensive, but by far the best continuos duty pump on the market. Ran mine on a 1200+ hp blown carb motor. Yes, you have to run a return system on this one. There are a lot pumps that will meet your requirements, but this one is the most reliable, and larger enough for any future upgrades.

    atx..., if you do go w/ abypass/returtn system, and you use a "t" valve which I recommend, make sure your lines are routed the same and as close to equal as possible, so they return fuel evenly, otherwise you may fill/overfill one side..

    I forgot to mention a fuel pump thats only been out a 6-8 months. I don't know the name of ikt, but its been advertised in hot rod, and I think car craft. It's a small billett mech pump, believe it's anodized red, and can support up to 1800hp without using any returns. Looks like a really trick pump..Originally came out for sbc, then bbc, might have one for a ford by know.
