Who out there is running an electric fuel pump on a carburated engine? What brand is the fuel pump, are you using a pressure regulator and how do you have it wired up? FYI: I installed a massive fuel filter in my baby. It looks exactly like an oil filter (mounting, filter canister) but with a petcock at the bottom. It filters down to 2 microns, which kicks butt on any stock filter, can handle up to 70psi for FI systems, and separates water from the fuel. The water drains via the petcock. I got it from JC Whitney and mounted it inside my left front fender well, bolted to the spare tire wall. I fabbed a simple rock shield behind it (in front of the tire) just in case. I've used it for a month now, in both long and short drives, and have not had any problems whatsoever (and I drive aggressively, too). The directions recommend changing the filter every 24,000 miles! I still keep my stock fuel filter at the engine just in case, but I've always used two fuel filters once I made the switch to carbs. One of these days I'll get a home system or borrow someone's, get an ISP and post a bunch of pictures of my baby so ya'll can have a better look at what I've done.
