    What do you guys use for methanol belt driven fuel pumps, pulleys, mounts, and bypass or do you just use an electric pump? That's not an option for me. Currently I'm using an adapted block mount Chevy pump that I made my own arm for but it doesn't seem to be 100% reliable. I'm also using a Barry Grant mechanical bypass which works awesome but I don't know if I should use it with a belt drive pump. Any help?

    Greg, I am in the process of fabricating a mechanical fuel pump mount and will post pictures when it is complete. The crank mandrel is coming from Steve Reynolds (SRE). I wanted it for Salem but the car is running too good to mess with right now. I am installing a Ron's Flying Toilet on a new TA SPX intake (the manifold is done if you would like photos).

    That sounds good Mike. I would be really interested in the mandrel and the mount. I'm set on the carb. and manifold. This is on a dirt modified so "flying toilet" doesn't sound too good for torque off the corners. I'm hoping to use a KSE tandem fuel pump and power steering pump to save a few pounds on the nose, but it isn't a must. That is what most of the guys in my class run. Just the fuel pump would be okay. Keep me posted how it goes for ya. Greg
