Myself I wouldnt waste my time with dual inlets.. a 1/2" inlet is more than you need so why carry the extra
weight and pluming.. just more possible leaks
Edited my last post above. 1 single pickup, the bolt on pump cover one.
Tests I read said that this pump
"Cover Type" pickup with a
standard volume pump will flow more oil than a stock pickup with a Melling high volume pump.
The stock pickup is a huge bottle neck. I have seen some that are thick tube outside but small inside diameter. The biggest inside diameter ones I have seen are 1/2 inch inside until 1 inch from the pump and then necked down to that 3/8s pipe screw in.
