Default Electric Fuel Pump on a C3

How do you guys plumb this thing? Does the pump need to be out back? Where do yall mount it? Can it be done without cutting the stock lines or drilling the tank?

Also, I saw a Chevy Tech article with the boost referenced regulator after the dual feed line, that isn't right is it? I would think that the regulator would need to be in front of the carb.

Walbro has drop in replacements. At leas they do for fuel injection, but I'm not sure about low pressure carburated apps.

Most FI specific pumps can only be regulated down to 30 psi territory. Not only that, I need fire hose amounts of fuel. Yes I posted this at 5am, no I haven't slept yet... I keep thinking to myself that law students are a bunch of cry babies. This aint so bad, when is it going to get hard? Abre los ojos.

You are asking about putting an electric fuel pump on a carbed Vehicle? No other power add ons?Right?

If no one else answers this, I'll give you a call and go over it for you.

Why don't you go over it here so somebody else, like me, learns something too. . .

Just these:

383ci SBC
9:1
Forged Scat Crank
Forged Scat 6" Rods
Forged Aluminum SRP Pistons
AFR 195cc Aluminum Angle Plug Heads w/8032 Upgrade
Comp Hyd Roller Cam & Lifters .576 in .594 ex Lift 239in 245ex Duration @ .05
Comp Chromeoly Pushrods
Harland Sharp 1.65 Full Roller Rockers
Edelbrock Victor Jr
MSD Pro Billet HEI
Mighty Demon 750 Annular
Procharger D1SC 4" pulley, K&N filter

Need to know where to mount the pump, how to plumb it, where to plumb the regulator. Regulator will be boost referenced but I don't think it matters for the sake of illustration.
