I have a 98 Z28 that a carb'd LM7 is going into. I'm using the stock tank. Would it be better to run an external pump or an in tank pump? If in tank, do I use the regulator in the tank, or ditch it somehow. If external, how would I plumb it using the stock tank. Isn't much movement in the carb section.

An internal pump is almost always better, except when you can't get one big enough to supply your needs. I doubt this is the case at this point. If you use the in-tank regulator, you would still have to run an additional external bypass regulator to get the pressure down to carb friendly levels. Now that I think about it, didn't '98 still use a return style with a rail-mounted regulator? If that is the case, you just run a low pressure regulator to feed back into the factory return line, and the only plumbing you have to change is under the hood. As a bonus, the factory pump will flow quite a bit more at 8 or 10 psi than it does at 58.
