Here's how to modify the fuel tank, pump and pickup real easy. Unbolt the fuel tank and lower it gently. Tap the fuel pump retainer ring off, get the pump out and unbolt the actual pump and toss it. Get a piece of rubber fuel line a little bit longer than the pump was deep. This way, when the hose reaches the bottom of the tank, it will turn a bit to the side. Never had any problems. Now you dont have to switch fuel tanks or any of that nonsense. Feel free to cap off the return line on both ends.. you wont need it.
Electric fuel pumps have volume and pressure variations that can be very annoying to a carb and you'll need a $75 fuel pressure regulator. You'll also need your return line. Just save yourself the headache. TRUST ME... I've tried to bugger it every way humanly possible from reducing stock fuel pump voltage to inline regulators at full voltage and the mechanical pump is the way to go. The eccentric is a snap to put in, just get one off an 85 mustang or get one from a dealer, bolts right up to the timing gear on my 91. Cost me $30
