Fortunately, he was pretty emphatic about keeping all the original parts on the engine.

The builder I spoke with was also pretty emphatic about running an in-tank electric fuel pump. He also talked about using a different Pertronix distributor, a vacuum pump for brakes, a blueprinted mini-starter and even a different flex fan. Again, I’m not being critical of his ability to build strong Pontiac engines, I’m just not sure we share the same vision for my car.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my PY family!

He's definitely right about in tank pumps. If you're planning an electric fuel pump, in the tank is the only way to go. Longevity, quiet, there's a reason why the OEM's have done that since the beginning of EFI.
