I'm trying to find a place that sells a selection of fuel line parts that are suitable for a 914-6 setup. I currently have 3/8"s to the pump, 5/16th's from the pump to the dual carbs. Seems like i'd have to bump it up to 3/8ths all the way to the carbs, but I really don't think i need that much.

What i'd like is to have a decent splitter block on the rear wall of the engine compartment with a pressure gauge and regulator. The pump is under the car, which i'm not really that sure about in itself. Relocating it is a pain and probably not worth it.

Right now i'm not even sure i'm getting good fuel delivery. I got a pressure regulator a ways back and it started leaking all over the place. I tried to buy a better one (from Performance Products) and they sent me the same crap I could have gotten from Kragen.

Maybe i'm overthinking the whole fuel system, but it just seems like it could be done better and i've got all this money that burning a whole in my pocket...

Tim,

why don't you add a guage to the engine bay and make sure you have adequate fuel....

its really the only way to go..

I run a recirculatory system on carbs, with a guage plumbed in... I believe that the recirculatory system helps in that it is always cool fuel entering the carbs.
