i'm installing a sumped tank in my 69. i'm thinking of running a -10 line to a carter 172 pump then a -8 line to my summit fuel line. my concerns are

1. is the filter in the fuel line adequate

2. which line and fittings are best?(concerned about fuel smell)

3. on a warmed over 454 would this be enough system for a 100-125
shot on nitrous?
i'm figuring on supporting the line every 12" with the rubber lined clamps drilled inside the frame. another option would be to install a blue pump and use the stock 3/8" fuel line for nitrous. thanx mike

would need a fuel pump to work for the motor directly and one for the nitrous. with two filters. that's what i am running with my 125 shot utilizing 2 holley black pumps and haven't had a problem at all.
