Yes that's the idea but, after hearing about this added complication your option may be easier.

Had I known this issue was coming, I probably would have used an aftermarket fuel pump. At this stage in the game, I will just run a separate return line and rock on. If the stock fuel pump fails, I may go with a different pump. The people that have went carb'd and gave me advice ran a separate return line. They were happy and running well so it is the path I chose.

Is there an aftermarket carb pump that will go in the stock location in tank?

Not that I know of aftermarket.

But there are many early 80's ford application that had a low pressure in tank pump

Motor runs and pulled it out of shop. Just got fittings and braided line to run return line fuel tank. Won't be long now.

Could probably use a in tank tbi pump and dead head it. They are 15 psi I believe.

Interesting. Definitely something to look into. Is the method for mounting the in tank pump pretty standard accross GM platforms so that swapping to another GM pump wouldn't be to difficult?

You can make it work pretty easy no matter what I'm sure. Look at some pics of your and a say...94 gmc 5.7 liter truck pump and see how similar they are or are not.

Id have to do more research, but I think they are close. They are listed as 12-15 psi. I cant find anyone thats done it. Deadheading is usually frowned on, but Ive seen plenty do it. Especially on a track car.

Im getting a baffled 4cylinder tank and sending unit for my s10 blazer, gonna use a tbi pump on it. It has a return though. Maybe you could find a sender with a spot for a return on it that would work

Holley blue pumps are 14psi, I dead headed one for a couple years on a cruiser. Just depends I guess. Ill keep digging on info

I run the in tank TBI pump in my 94 gmc truck with the 4.8 swap, I can barely regulate it down to 7 psi. I would not even try to dead head one of those. A Holley red, blue and black can run dead head all day.

I put a 7-pound self regulated Edelbrock carb pump on my frame rail, and used the stock lines. It works very well (but then, I don't have an in-tank pump getting in the way).
