Looking for Tips on building a fuel system

Use stock 5/16 line for return and ordered stock 3/8 fuel line. regulator at the carb.
For the record, i ran a carter elec. pusher to a carter mechanical pump for many years.
The reason why was the vapor lock problem that the pusher fixed.

Never had a diaphragm failure in 5 or six year... but had a regulator that only allowed the electric pump, to push a couple of pounds, to the mechanical pump. still if it had ruptured, i would probably not figured it out early enough to save my bearings.
It was a risk!

Remember that is only a rubber diaphragm that your pushing all that pressure at. and when it ruptures.............that electric pump will fill the crankcase with FUEL, vary fast.

just bypass the pump on the block for now and find out how much that pump will push.
