the block itself will accept brass fittings. I just think that a 1/2" fitting is gonna be too big.

mine is the RUS-650360

i stretched the 5/16 hose over a 3/8 barb because i couldnt find a 3/8 npt to 5/16 barb anywhere... no biggie

the outlet is 1/2 npt because that easily adapted to my -8 bulkhead fitting with a 1/2 npt male to -8 female without choking it down like the 3/8 would... and is easily upgraded if i ever need -10 line

Hey David, do you have any kind of special wiring done to the pumps? or just split the stock power supply to both pumps?

both pumps get power straight from the + post up front with a fuse.. back to one 30 amp relay that is switched on by the factory power wire for the pumps. they are gounded the same as stock

one pump is run by a short secton of the factory grey wire into the sending unit.. the second pump i drilled a small hole and put in a grommet around the + wire and sealed it up.

After i saw this i talked with Several top fuel guys and they all saided the same thing that the y-block was the way to go as the T was causing the fuel to fight flow between the two pumps and the Y-block was going to create an even flow

on my 99 twin pump setup i just cut bigger holes in the bottom plastic to allow more fuel to get in there faster,

id like to see if i can get three pumps in there, probably will have to severly modify the plastic bucket.

hey mighty moust, where did you get the replacement filter socks?

The "sock" is called a strainer. I don't know if the walbro uses the same strainer as a stock pump, but most Auto parts stores carry a few different ones.
