Im swapping a 93 coupe from a 4 popper over to a carbed v-8 I was wondering if there was a way to use the stock fuelpump or should i just use an electric pump?

Some will say you can use an adjustable regulator with a return but in my book if the regulator ever fails, sending EFI pressure to the carb...well that will be no fun. Blow the needle off the seat, spray gas out of the fuel bowl vent tubes like old faithful. My old roommate did a similar project and he just used a holley red pump, no regulator required.

There's plenty better pumps, I'm just saying something of the like.

Either that, or slap a mechanical pump on the timing cover and call it a day.

When you pull the fuel pump out, you have to either fabricate the tank's pickup or buy one like this

You can use it if you're going to use a return style regulator. Mine is just plugged.

I bought mine like that granatelli one and a rubber cap on the unused one like these and I used a worm clamp to make sure it didn't pop off.
