What kind of fuel pump HELP ME PLS

Can some one give me an idea what all it will take to convert my 70 camaro to a TPI car.
I already pulled a running 305 out of a 89 camaro It does have the 9th cold start injector. The motor is fully complete. I also purchased a wiring harness from painless. I did not grab the gas tank witch I wish I had. I am aware that I will have to run a return line. But what is the best way to get this motor in their.
Thanks Jeff

walboro 255 seems to work. Not sure if it will fit your tank but that's where i would start.

I've seen a tank on ebay for a gen 1 camaro that was already modified. Have a look. It was a while back though. You can always run an inline pump but there are embarassingly noisy. I had one in my TPI converted impala and I ripped it out in a week!

If you got to buy a fuel pump, you might as well buy one as mentioned above, 255 liters per hour rating.

Will the return line for the fuel have to have back presure or can it be a free flowing hard line to the tank

I just ran a 5/16 steel line straight back to the tank on mine. No problems.
