You can use the existing tank. Just pull it and remove pump,tubes etc.
You will need a pump, Holleys makes some good ones either 'Blue' or 'Black'.
You'll want to have a good filter between the tank and the pump. I use Aeromotive, spendy but plenty of capicity...
For lines I would use 3/8 aluminum a;; the way from tank to engine.
What year block are you using? If it has a place for a mechanical pump, use it too. Hollet brand again..
I use braided steel hose from the regulator to the carb.....

Welcome to the real world........

um don't you think 750 is a bit overkill, 600-650 is more realistic, unless you are pushing 400 horse....

yah 750 is too big. i would go with a 650 and put that on top of a edelbrock intake.
word. The best part is getting all that worthless crap out of you engine bay. You no longer need sensors for everything!!

i would go 575 to 625 range for a carb. you wont listen and will use a 750 cause you think larger is better but reality the car will run like crap and fall on its ****. and also will run lean. and no you cant jet a carb down like they say you can. for whatever reason youre stepping back in time to go carb atleast chose a carb thats within the range you need

BTW, use a 650 carb...

C'mon Quik, the guy is looking for better WOT and doesn't much care about fuel efficiency. Or maybe he was looking through the Guiness book and found that the worlds fastest 1/4 mile time ran by a street legal car....is Carburated????

But I agree, the 750 is over kill...600, 650 is all you are going to need.

If you are staying 302 inches in carbureted set up a 650 double pump will do fine. I would swap out the pump in the tank in favour of an 85 or earlier fuel pick up. I sumped my tank, and put a filter right before the fuel pump. I used 8 an braided line all the way from the tank to the carb. Bought a mallory 140 gph pump,(better buy) it came with a nice 80 dollar fuel regulater. If your car is a stick car a 750 tuned right is not overkill. I set up my buddy's car with a 750 and home ported D3 heads with stock valves and a very small flat hydraulic cam. It is a 306 and runs 12.71 @ 107 on motor. I think if you set your car up right, and choose parts that you and your car can grow with and not be Bigger is better greedy your car will work fine.

guys the carb is for a 347 not a 302, i hope you understand that. i talked to the guys at panhandle performance and there the ones who suggested me the 750. i was originally gonna go with a 650 too but then they told me different so thats what im gonna use. they gave me my last combo and worked awsome so theres no reason why i shouldnt listen to them this time.

Well, theres a big difference between a 302 and a 347. You should of mentioned that
