Re: FUEL PUMP!!!!

Your car already has an in-tank electric pump, but you need a different one for TPI. The reason is that TBI runs at a much lower pressure than TPI. TBI I think is around 9PSI, but TPI needs about 43PSI. Are you getting the 350TPI engine from a donor car? If so, I would try and also get the fuel pump and maybe lines with it. I'm not 100% sure if the lines are different, hopefully someone else knows.
