FUEL PUMP UPGRADE - Fuel Pump and Fuel Lines Upgrade

Hi Guys,
After running with the same pump for 45 years I thought it would be a good idea to do some preventive maintenance and replace the pump in the garage instead of on the side of the road.
This gave me the opportunity to upgrade the plumbing and make the whole system a little safer.
The attached image gives you some idea of what I did.

Looks fantastic and it's just what I need!

Can you provide some specifics? What kind of pump did you use? What additional fittings and sizes did you put in? What did the pump and parts cost you? Have you had any problems with it? Any and all information will be much appreciated.

From a former near-by resident (Oswego) and college neighbor (Canton). Can't say I miss those winters ;-) ed

Sparkleberry?
I got the pump from MOSS.
It is an original style square body SU Fuel Pump with traditional points.
All the fittings, adapters and the hose are #6 AN.
I got that stuff from SUMMIT Racing and/or PEGASUS Racing or JEGS.
Unless you want to run the hose all the way to the carbs you'll also need a compression fitting from #6 AN to 3/8" hard line.

The pump has run flawlessly so far since 2020, knock on wood.

I've attached the other half of the modifications in case you want to go that far.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Good luck,
Peter
