I used a Tanks inc, in tank pump with corvette External filter/Regulator. with my stock tank.
I used the external Walbro 255. It was easy/works well.
The sticky at the top of "Conversions"/"Hall of Fame Threads" by Olly has a diagram & parts. I used Russell fittings rather than the barbed fittings which Olly used.

The corvette Reg/filter is around 30.00 to 50.00.
You can use an external fuel pump, but it might need to be gravity fed, im not sure on that one. most likely you would have to sump your tank for that.
THere are many options for getting the fuel to the rail.
Steel braid
Aluminum tube
Nylon
and more
I Used Steel braid, it cost around 200 for all the fittings and hose.
I used the walbro, corvette regulator and summit fabric braided line and summit An fittings. the braided is cheaper than SS, but not much more than autozone FI hose.
I still have the stock 69 tank, but put a hollowed out fuel filter inline between the tank and pump inlet to act as a fuel "capacitor". I'll repost in a few weeks to let everyone know if i have any starvation issues under cornering/acceleration.
FYI, fuel flow to the walbro pump is in the direction going towards the electrical connectors. --otherwise you get fuel tank bubbles
good luck

Fuel tank bubbles, that would have been a good laugh at the time.
