Any factory pump and pickup from a TPI car will work just fine. If your carb had a helper pump it wont work. Rock auto should have what you need

Re: carb fuel pump for tpi?

Would i also need a new fuel sender for return line or do carb fuel senders already have those?

Re: carb fuel pump for tpi?

if it has an in-tank helper pump for a carb motor then a replacement pump should install on the existing sender unit. you may have to slightly modify the mounting because the carb fuel pump may be smaller.

the carb fuel pump only puts out a few psi. it was designed to assist the block mounted fuel pump.

an 85 wouldn't normally come with an in-tank pump though, unless it was an L69 or added later. I'd verify what you have to ensure the fuel pump wiring and relay are there.
