electric fuel pump with pick up

[1974dodgecharger]

Will a stock pickup with 1/2 inch send and 1/4 return work with a A1000 fuel pump for a fuel injected car?

The 1/2" pump output will be fine. The 1/4 return may be a problem at low demand. The way to check would be to hook it up and see what sort of pressure you have at the fuel rail. If it is greater than your regulator setting (45 psi?) the 1/4 return is a restriction.
If you are planing on using the standard pick up (I think they are 3/8") this could also be a problem.
Most injected systems run a gravity feed to the pump of 1/2" or greater - or the pump is in-tank.
Some may say it is fine and it may well be but it is not ideal. On high demand you could over tax the supply.
An in-tank pump in a swirl pot is best- IMO.

Didn't 74 gas tanks have like 4 lines with 1 being out the other 3 in?

If so run a 1/2" line back and split into multiple lines into the tank.
