How I would do it:
Use 1/2" o.d. aluminum fuel line. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
Run 2 lines from tank to carb, one for supply and one for return. Use insulated Adel clamps (most Ace hardwares have a bolt/nut/fitting department that will have these nice Adel clamps) http://competitionplus.com/2004_09_1...ing_part4.html to secure the lines to the frame with the appropriately sized sheet metal screws every 12" along the frame (drill the proper size hole in the frame for the screws to get a good bite). Mount a fuel filter on the feed line immediately after the tank. Mount your electric fuel pump immediately after the filter (70 GPH minimum pump).
Go to a muffler shop and get some of their muffler-hanging rubber strap material. I have found it at Pep Boys also. It's maybe 5/8ths by 1 inch rubber that looks like it might have been cut from an old tire. Secure these pieces of rubber to the frame and suspend the pump from the rubber pieces to make it vibration and noise resistant in the cab of the truck. Use short pieces of rubber to attach the supply and discharge lines to the pump to further isolate noise and vibration.
Mount another fuel filter in the engine bay supply line before the carb. Use this Mallory #4302M adjustable fuel log that bolts to your Holley carb. http://www.malloryracing.com/Product...minselection=8
On the inlet side of the log (right side of log in photo), use a tee that will supply your fuel pressure gauge.PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
