I'm swapping to a carb this week. Will a mechanical fuel pump work with my current 305 block? How about the tank? Will a sending unit fit? Are the tanks universal so any fuel pump or sending unit will work?

Thanks!

 

yeah a mechanical pump should work with your block (it'd help if you said what you have). you'd need to get a fuel pump rod and make sure your cam has a cam for the mechanical pump. you can keep your stock sending unit and factory gauge, i think it's the pink wire. if not i believe they're all the same as far as the top of it goes, the tank depths may be differant.

Wonder if you have an in tank pump? I do, I swapped to carb a few weeks ago, I have a 92 RS that was tbi, now carbed. I used the intank pump and lines, put on a fuel regulator.

 

So what you're saying is that I can leave my old fuel pump and sending unit on the tank and use a mechanical fuel pump? That would be GREAT! I already have a mechanical fuel pump! What would I need to make this work? Just disable the old fuel pump and use the same fuel lines? I have an LB9 and I think my cam is the same as the LG4. Will it make the mech. fuel pump work?

Any info is greatly appreciated!

 

That what I'm doing if I can't get the mechanical fuel pump to work. What I want to know if it will work if I leave the old electric fuel pump in the tank and just disable it.

 

yeah you can use the mechanical pump with the in tank pump still in place. my son did on his 355 in a 88 camaro.
