need advice on my swap!!
i'm putting a tpi on my 84 z-28, and need advice. i know that need a new fuel pump but, i really don't feel like pulling down the tank, can i put a new inline fuel pump in?? and if so what are the requirements for it? need help.
There's plenty of fuel injection places that make exernal pumps. Just make sure to get one that fits your requirements. I've had one for 4 years now, in blistering heat out west, and it still works great.

Axle/Gears: 9" from 57 ranchero unsure gears.
in the effort to save you some cash its not hard to install it in the tank, I did it in mine with just some hose clamps sounds cheesy but its been in there almost 4 years and no problems, just takes a little ingenuity and a little patience. And if you had the original one it will get you through, the one I used was out of the donor car so there is no telling how old it actually is.

I put a holley external fuel pump on my car for my swap, it's 45psi and flows 255lph.
It was $150 or so.
I do have an in-tank pump and sender I don't need, you can have it cheap.
I also have misc sensors and relays for MAF TPI that I am not using.
Let me know what you are looking for.
