Default Fuel Hard Line

Anyone know what size the hardline is on the stock fuel system? I've started working on my dual lift pump project. I think it is 3/8", but I'm not 100% sure.

I think your right. . .going to 1/2" would be overkill, unless your running mega HP.

Well I ordered all of the fittings and a Walbro pump today. I am going to use the in-tank pump as the back up pump. If the Walbro fails, it will switch over to the in-tank pump until I can replace the Walbro. At least it won't leave me stranded on the side of the road or tear up the VP44.

So the fuel now goes through the in tank pump, to the Walboro, to the VP-44 - right?

Is there some sort of manual switch, or will it switch automaticaly?
How are they wired up?

I thought you were going to use 2 Walboro's?
