I guess Delphi got it right.

And Carter M6122, if you can live with 9 psi minimum pressure?

Wow! I never even saw that Delphi one. That's actually the correct orientation! I've got the M6122 on the car and always wondered why I had to bend such tight bends out of it to hit the factory lines. I now see that it was really for a different year/car. The Delphi would line right up.

So.. I've in the past had one of those clockable Holley HP pumps. I could never get the durned thing to stop leaking. Gasket always looked fine but it always seemed to leak where the two halves joined. And RobbMc.. I'm sure he's a great guy. Always hear good things about his stuff. But once upon a time I ordered his starter he used to make. Thing was always going wrong. I had replacement bits from him like twice until I just gave up and ordered a mini starter from our sponsor that has worked for the last -- like -- 18 years or so now without complaint. So, probably irrationally, I'm unlikely to take that RobbMc pump option. I'm probably going to wire in a pusher electric on the WOT switch and live with that until I am ready to get a new tank and lines with in-tank and external regulator. Maybe at that point I'll try to hide the regulator in an old fuel pump body just for giggles.
