External Fuel pump question
If you dont feel like reading a ton skip to the 2nd paragraph.
Well its not a 3rd gen but it is a chevy tbi 305 but its in a truck. Ive been having all kinds of problems with the fuel pump. Like the wires coming undone and the hose falling off. Its an internal pump and Ive dropped the tank like 7 times and every time i fixed the problem either the wires came undone or the hose from the fuel pump came off the steel line again. I think it has something to do with the pump moving around so much when im punching the throttle or slamming the breaks.
Im so tired of the in tank fuel pump that i am thinking about getting an external in line fuel pump. Can i use my stock gas tank. How would i go about running the lines. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I did. Just extend a pickup tube w/sock to the bottom of the sump. I mounted the pump on the inner frame rail just in front and below the tank.
