What mechanical fuel pump?
What do you guys recommend for a fuel pump?
GPH rating?
return line?
I want something chrome but want to make sure I get a quality one. I read a link a while back about someone using the Edelbrock and having inconsistent fuel pressure.

Someone here said that the stock pumps are good to over 400hp, and that the 3/8" fuel line is good to over 500hp, so i would go and pick up the standard pump...prob around $20 if I remember correctly.

Nothing wrong with a stock AC pump...don't forget the high H.P. BB's, L-88's, ZL-1's used the stock mechanical pump...BB's don't have a return line.
Before the 533 cube, I ran the solid roller in the 427 and stock pump..worked like a charm.

It was me that had the Edlebrock with
inconsistent fuel pressure. I went with the Carter Pump, natural aluminum finish. Part#M60969 was the Carter I used, this is the Nascar pump 150+ GPH with the AN fittings, you may not need that though.
