Why is it that you think you have to have a fuel cell up front to run a belt drive pump? Remember it is a carbuerator with fuel bowls not injection. I now run a 1250 Bolaws with a Bolaws belt drive pump with a bypass built into the pump. I dont even have to use a return line. My fuel tank is 10" from the pump. My point is you said you have never ran a belt drive pump yet you continue to tell us we are wrong. My car runs 4.70,s and will repeat againand again and again will yours? Does that make me right,NO!!! What makes me right is that i have experience running an alcohol carb with a belt drive pump. Do you bracket race or race heads-up.
