Default electric fuel pump selection

Hello,

What is recommended for a 502 gen6 850 carb. with 7 to 8 lbs. . I only have one line from the fuel tank (suction) unable to run a return line. I don't have any parts now and not sure what is needed any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks J.p

For a dead head pump, the most common selections are Mallory and Holley. 110gph isadequate. Do a search here for info. I've had good luck with the Mallory pumps.
Oh yeah, correct installation is probably more importat that the pump choice.

aeromotive is also a good choice. remeber to plumb your fuel system with a return style regulator, and introduce the regulator at the end of your fuel rail on the carb. the return can be reintroduced to fuel system v.i.a a tee on the inlet side beforer the pump.
you may waqnt to consider adding a fuel cooler as well.

good luck.
