im carbing my bridgeport setup...what fuel pump?

right now, ive got the bridgeported motor, and all the stuff necessary to carburate it, but i called up racing beat and they said that id need to go with a lower psi or lph fuel pump since the carb doesnt have a return line. where can i get a fuel pump like this? should i look at aftermarket fuel pumps for first gens?
thanks

is the motor already built? i'd love to see how big the ports, but i guess i'll just have to hear em instead.

Considered using a fuel pressure regulator? Using a bypass type regulator allow you to plumb a return line to the tank from the regulator instead of the carb. You can then set your pressure to whatever the carb wants (normally 3-5 PSI) via the regulator...

i actually asked racingbeat about doing that, and it sounds like a good idea, but they said that the pump would crap itself after a few thousand miles....ill probably end up with a holley unit or something....
