fuel pump question
I swapped an LT1 with hotcam into my 84 Z28. I have been having cavitation issues with my inline puel pump setup. So I bought a TPI tank and sending unit and just ordered a bosch fuel pump. I know walbro or racetronix would work too, but the Bosch will work just fine (or at least other threads on this site say so). I know I'm gonna have to fix the fuel level wiring to work with my origionally carb'd car's wiring harness. Anything I'm missing?

You need to get 12v to the pump as well. 
What are you going to do about the gap that will be in the fuel line when you take out the in-line pump?

Re: fuel pump question
Right now the pump is just outside the tank. I just pulled the end of the rubber lines that attach to the hard lines by the tank and re-routed the feed line through the inline pump. I can just extend the rubber hose about 8 inches and make the gap back up. And the 12v is easy considering I am running it all the way back by the tank now anyways.
