i have some questions. right now I have a (i think) bridge ported 12a with a holly 465 cfm street carb and manifold from Racing Beat. I have a feeling that my engine is running really lean, but i don't have a bung on my header or a wideband to check my AFR's. I was just looking through the Racing Beat catalogue, and I was wondering if I should just re-jet my carb after i get a bung and access to a wideband, or if I should go ahead and get the whole kit for bridge ported engines from Racning Beat. If I go with the new carb and intake manifold, there is no vacuum pickup on the manifold, eliminating power brakes.

second question, pertaining to the first question: If I do go wtih a new carb and intake for the bridge ported engine, is there a company that sells a remote vacuum source so I can retain power brakes, or is there a way that I can drill and tap the intake manifold to create my own vacuum pickup?

third question: my fuel pump just took a ****, and I'm looking for suggestions on a new fuel pump. I am thinking of either a TII or a n/a 20b somewhere down the road, once i get it looking nice and everything. right now i'm looking at the Holly Blue fuel pump and a fuel pressure regulator to keep the pressure at 6psi. Should I go with this, or should i go with something like the Walborogh 255 lph that alot of the FD guys use?

I got the 465 holley on my street ported 12a, and i got the rb kit wiht the intake, my intake had a vaccum hook up on the back side of the intake, it was just a hole with a brass nipple in it, if you get one with out a connector i dont see any reason you cant put a connector in your self just drill and tap the NPT thread and tape the nipple and tighten it up. its just one line from the brake booster to the intake manifold. my car is not bridge ported but i was told with the 465 cfm to just get the holley pump and a regulator. i went to the local auto store and bought a fuel pump that had the same or close specifations as the holley and it was not near as much $$$$$, only thing i had to modify the brackets under teh car where you mount the pump, then just put in a inline regulator should work not sure what others have done but hope it helps
