Fuel Pump Mod

Ok so I want to get rid of my intake pump and go another route. I want to get rid of my regulator so I don't have to mess with regulating fuel anymore. My question is what do I need to do to run a regular block pump on my motor?

If anyone knows anything about this please or has any different ideas please give details.

run a stock mechanical pump and you won't have to use a pressure regulator, anything thats more than 7 psi in a carborated application with have to have a regulator

I've run a stock TPI intank pump now for seven years on my carb setup. I need to know if there is anything I have to do with the gas tank to run a regular block pump.
