I imagine this has been talked about before, but in a different way, for that I apologize... I've got a 1964 Lemans that I'm building to be a stout street car. Car is complete except for an engine, plans are to have KRE build a "mild-monster" for it. Something right around 500 horsepower with a "new" muncie behind it.. Question is: Stock tank with stock pick-up, larger 3/8" stainless line to front, and a want to use a mechanical pump like a Carter -- will this be able to feed a 500 horse motor? Maybe I'm wrong, the SD's in the early 60's only modification to the fuel system was an increase in spring pressure for the mechanical pump, those ran, didn't they?

Yes it comes up every 3 weeks actually:
carter pump, New/cleaned tank, new/no sock pick-up, and a 1/2" line and you should not have much probs. RAIV Don't leave home without it. www.kingofmusclecars.com

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
