Recommended fuel pump?
Which ever pump you decide to go with, add a return line to your fuel system, so you don't have a deadhead style set-up.
It's not difficult to do and doesn't cost a lot, but it helps keep your fuel cooler, helps defeat vapor lock and is easier on the pump. You can feed it using either a return style regulator or a 3 nipple fuel filter up near the carb. Be sure to keep your lines away from the hot engine parts.
I added a larger return line on my sending unit using real silver solder, not the fake kind they sell at many hardware stores. I sourced it from a welding supply house. I used an electric pump, but you can use a mechanical pump with the same style return line. The 1/4" return line is pretty small. I went 3/8".
