Posted this in the street section and it was suggested I post it here also (sorry, I know it's talked about a lot)... I've learned and read that the SD cars pump was to high for street use, but the line, tank and pick-up still fed those cars successfully.... Thanks for the help...
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?
