In your defense Cliff, and actually many of us that have been around this hobby long enough, that was your only option decades ago. We had to sump stock tanks and run big external electric pumps just to feed these engines if you actually had something that ran decent back then.
The only other option was a custom made tank and pump setup that was extremely expensive at the time, almost no one was doing that on their hot street cars.
It wasn't until Tanks Inc came along in the late 80's or early 90's when things started to look better as far as affordable tanks with electric pumps in them for us classic car guys. And even then they only started with street rod stuff, it took many years as more models became available for different types of vehicles. They've been expanding ever since. So we had to wait a long time from the days when we ran those external pumps and sumped stock tanks to have something that literally just dropped in the stock location and looked factory, but with modern fuel system performance.
Now it's just a no brainer to get an EFI style tank from Tanks Inc, even if you run a carb, and just put the pump in the tank, run lines big enough, and call it done. It's clean, it's simple, and it works.
No longer is it necessary to sump stock tanks and run big external pumps that sound like weed eaters, and of course can't forget that giant fram filters hanging down LOL, that is unless you're just going for that day 2 old school appearance and have to have all that stuff hanging below your back bumper
