Use the stock lines, Mallroy 4309 or 4307 regulator. Input to input, return to return, one to the carb. Regulate it down to 5.5 or 6psi. Since you have the pump, you don't need to run any external wiring for the pump. All your doing is putting the regulator in between the lines from the tank and the carb.

Thats all you need to keep the stock in-tank fuel pump.

It's really a simple set up.

That's a vague question, what all do you plan to run? Just the very basics to start and drive the car or do you want a fully functional interior, cluster, etc?
