Don,
We were originally talking about carb jetting and then you got on this fuel pump tangent. I have said in my previous posts that my findings were based on my own experiences and that "in general" a smaller motor will take a larger jet with the same sized carb than a larger motor. They're are just too many variables that determine how much air a motor can pull from one motor to the next BUT I think that if you take your carb off your 565 and put that same carb with the same jets on say a 434, the 434 will need to be jetted up. The statement you made where I definately think you are wrong is below:

I know guys who are running belt drive pumps with larger jets on smaller motors. The guy I mentioned who was running the 209 jets runs a bolaws pump on a 434 small block. As I said before, the carb doesn't care where the fuel comes from or how it got there. The bowls just need to be full. That's why I said I didn't want to get in a pizzing contest about which pump is best. They both, belt driven and electric, can be made to work. What's best for you is not neccessarily best for me or someone else where the configuration of the car won't allow for either the mounting of the pump or the tank or convenient access to a front mounted tank. I, too, have been told not to run a belt driven pump with a rear mounted tank but if it works for you then, hey, that's great.
Don't get your panties in a wad just because someone disagrees with you. Hell, you disageed with me and you don't see me getting an attitude. The starter of this thread wanted options. I gave him options that work. How do I know they work? Because I'm doing the same thing. How do I know that a 154 jet is probably too lean? Because I have already tried running them. How do I know that 184 jets are the correct jet for my motor? Because on a 95* day on a 1/8th mile pass, 1109 on the EGT and a pickup in water temp of 7*. Again, just my experiences. Your mileage may vary.
