Have had a mechanical pump every since. I do not believe you need that bid of jet with an Enderle pump.
Zipper, where are you i need you to jump in here !!
Sorry i'm not alcohol carberator person, but i am a firm believer in front mounted mechanical pumps. My car is setup both for gas and alcohol. I have an 8 gal fuel cell in the trunk and 2 holly blues, and a 1/2" feed line, regulated at 8lbs. I also have a 3gal. cell in the front for alcohol running the toilet bowl with a DSR mechanical pump. If i were to put an alky carb on i would use the mechanical pump and regulate it with an 8lbs bypass off a fuel log/tee. 1 line out of the pump 1 line back to the tank. Real simple setup and cost effective, and you will never run out of fuel in the carb.

I have a mechanical pump at home and if I had a cell up front I would run it in a heartbeat. I have made my own throttle body to run injection but haven't gotten around to putting it all on yet because of the amount of work it will take to put a cell in the front of my roadster and to mount the pump. Just not much room there.

Curtis, another way to do that is leave your cell where it is and still use the electric pump, to a small reserve tank up front 1 gal is plenty. I've seen alum hand made tanks with a holly c'pivot float bowl mounted to the tank to control fuel level in the reserve tank, just remember to use a min. of #8 and preferrably a #12 feed line to the pump. i use #8 on my toilet bowl but #16 on my blower motor. i've got 5 different pumps from a hilborn 0 for gas up to an an Enderle 990, just in case i want to throw a little pop in the alcohol.
