I have a electric fuel pupm mounted under my gas tank(when i bought the car it was in the engine bay, and it was too much for the pump to handle and it gave out). I bought a pump just like it at autozone, the $45 one for v8 engines. When i try to race on anything too much my car sputters and dies, so i have to pop the hood and suck on a gas line to prime it again, what should i do? Get a better pump and regulator?

Get a walboro 255 and be done with it. There around $100
How good are they? Do I need a regulator?

no mines carbed, and in shop class we made the return line the fuel line

Thats odd. Sounds like your pump aint doing its job. I usually mount them just in fron of the axle where the fuel line comes down from the tank. I'd try a better pump and of course mount it low. Make sure all you clamps are tight so that you're not sucking air.

I have a summit inline pump mounted above my gas tank and it does fine on my 355.
