Re: tbi to carb suggestions.

A holley 750 would be too large for a stock 305. With an automatic trans, a 600 Holley with vacuum secondaries would be much better. A non-electronic q-jet would work real well on a stock 305 also....

Re: '84 L69 T/A won't run

Yes 84 L69 cars do have the in-tank pump. I think mine has gone dead too, but I use to hear it run when I turned the key on before starting the car. It will drive without it but pressure may go low...
