Is there a fuel pump for a V8 that uses a 5/16 fuel line? Car was a 6 cyl. Everything else is ready to roll except this. All lines, tank, and sending unit will be eventually changed, but due to funds, that will have to wait, and I' d really just like to here this thing run for the first time. Electric is also an option.

I have a new electric fuel pump I got from Ames (?) last summer for like $35. Not sure what size line it takes. If you're interested I can dig it up. Make me an offer. Never used.

As a side note - the electric pumps like to "push" fuel, rather than "pull", so it's best to mount near the fuel tank, as I understand it.

Thanks Ash. I' ll keep that in mind. I' m still trying to think if I want to go electric or not. I ran a Holley Blue pump on my GTO and it was pretty loud.

Anyone out there got a 326/350 2 barrel that could measure the line size? I think that would be my only chance with a stock type pump.

I might have my old mechanical pump laying around.... er, somewhere. I replaced it, but it turned out not to be the source of the problem, so it might still be good. Wouldn't need to charge you but shipping for it... well, actually, since it's well used, it's well smelling of gasoline. Not sure how UPS would like to ship that. Hmm...

It came off my 350/2bbl engine. Honestly - I'm not quite sure where it is! Maybe in the garage somewhere??? I can look around if you need it.

I think a new mechanical pump was only like $25-30 or so at Advance Auto... you might just want to go that route. You'll need the gasket too.

PS - as for "running" - you could rig up something with a container and a fuel line right to the carb to gravity feed the engine. That will allow you to at least run the car - not really drive it.

That's how we got my car in from the street into the garage - rigged up the portable "tank", and 1 person held the tank and guided the driver where to go, while walking along side the car.

I used a plastic funnel from Walmart for $7. It had a cover for the funnel, and a built in filter, along with an on/off valve and a clear plastic tube. Fit right onto the stock fuel line with a clamp, and we were good to go!

Do you still have the original hard lines on your car? That measurement would tell me what I need to know.

I may just make an adaptor to fit inline that would fit 5/16 line on one side and 3/8 one the other.
