You mean the kind that hangs a little "cheese wedge" on the underside of the back of the tank? They're for anything that's gonna launch hard and make the gas run away from a stock pickup (that is typically near the front of the tank). Plus you can fit a much larger line to them than a typical stock 3/8" pickup tube.
It's nice because it keeps the trunk space available for other stuff. But at a certain point it's time for a real fuel cell.
You can use them with a carb or EFI. My buddy's turbo Chevelle has a stock tank fitted with a rear sump. He uses an Aeromotive A1000 pump (which is capable of feeding a high pressure EFI setup) but regulates it down to carb-friendly pressures for use with his boost-referenced blow-through carb setup. By the time it's done it should run deep 10s. Currently in the 11s at low boost.

Definitely a good idea for a track type car.
The kits are cheap, and work perfect.
My 2 cents, don't cut out the metal, just drill 2 holes.
That helps when hitting the brakes, throwing the chutes.
Plus you can use any size fittings, and get much better volume then trying to use the stock stuff!!

Easy to drain the gas during end of season, plus it looks so cool on a street car when you have 12an fittings & fuel line coming from the sump.mrdragster1970 said:
