I will be changing to carb soon but I need to get it rolling with the tpi in use. Oh yea its elec. type in tank.
Thanks for the help and ideas.

Re: fuel pump for carb and tpi
you are goingto have to replace it with a tpi pump if you plan on using it for the tpi temp.. there is no way around it. as for going carb i believe that most are using the same pump with the return style regulator.

Re: fuel pump for carb and tpi
remember that your tpi is valuable and even more valuable if you take off every wire, cutting none, and doing the entire system - up to the firewall on the motor side and also up to the firewall on the passenger side.
they are great for 305's.

will he have to change out the lines?

Just don't get Autozone or Advance stuff, unless you're making the access panel so it's easy to change. I used a CarQuest pump - cheaper than stealership, and better than junk.

No fuel line changing whendo go to carb - just get fittings to attach to what you have, and definitely the return style regulator - nothing else will work - something like the Mallory 4309 regulator.

Re: fuel pump for carb and tpi
I got the mallory regulator on mine. Easy to setup and easy to tune. The hardest part was getting those metric bump fittings for the fuel lines.

speaking of those fittings....What did you use? Where did you get them? I want to do like you did and adapt the existing fittings to either a barb or an 'AN' fitting

You'll need two fittings. 14mmx1.5 and 16mmx1.5 female to 6AN.

Yeah I looked for those for about a week before I found them. Glad I could save somebody else the trouble.

Heres the fittings for the TPI fuel rail FYI.
