I finally decided to bite the bullet and install a fuel pump. My buddy was over and we actually hinged a fuel door in his car so we could change the fuel level sending unit.

After seeing how easy that was I decided to cut a trap door in my car as well.I had been thinking about a quick access door. We already had some scrap pieces of metal from above the fuel tank to make the panels. With my car we put in 4 spring loaded dzus fasteners to hold the door down and keep it sealed. I drove out to Saturday night meet and had no fume issues and the tank was full.

I didnt do the hot wire kit yet, but I think I will just fab up my own. Since the battery is already in the back of the car, it wouldnt be that hard to just install a Bosch style relay and 20 amp fuse.

looks awesome! wish i wouldve done that. did my install when i had the rear end out...so it was right there.
also-ive heard of people running 255lph pumps on the stock wiring and burning them up. I think a hotwire kit is a good mod to keep the pump performing well.
