Based on the work I've done so far, I will go from the tank to a pre-filter, from the pre-filter to my pump, and from the pump to the hard line at the back of the car. In the engine bay, I will go from the hard line to a post filter, then to a regulator, and then to the fuel log connected to the carb.

My questions are:
- What electric pumps, regulators, and filters have people used for this type of application with good results?
- How did you mount the components at the rear, and in the engine bay? Pix would really be appreciated
- What sort of fuel lines? Brand? Teflon, hard, braided?

Any other tips, articles, etc. would be great too. Thanks!
I can't help you on the electric pump,I don't use them,on my race car I have an soft 8AN line coming out of the fuel cell,about 24 inches down is a BG log type fuel filter, then soft 8AN line to the Carter mechanical fuel pump on the engine, from the fuel pump it is a 6AN line to the carb.......no problems what-so-ever since 2005.....

This is on a road race car that normally runs from 2500 to 7000 rpms on the track for 30 minutes or more at a time....
