Your return line will need to be at least as large as your feed line to avoid restriction at such a high bypass rate encountered with the low fuel pressures that you need to run with a carb set-up.

I sourced the bulkhead electrical fitting from Radium Engineering and the submersible fuel line from Harmon Racing Cells.

I run an EFI system on my '68 with a surge tank up front, so the pump pictured flows at near 0 psi and at full flow as the tank fuel circulates through the surge tank up front. This eliminates the cavitation issues associated with fuel slosh at the tank during low fuel level use extremely well.


Thank you, thank you!! up


No problem. I use https://www.deatschwerks.com/ for my fuel pumps these days. Look for one of the lower flow rated pumps for a carb'd application. This type of in-tank pump doesn't like to be used in a deadhead type set-up as they tend to build up heat in those applications, as the fuel flowing through and around them helps keep them cool.
