I'm removing the in tank fuel pump in my '88 camaro. The car was once fuel injected but is now carbureted. Instead of replacing the in tank pump I want to install either a mechanical pump or an external electric pump made for a carbureted engine. Rather than just adding an external pump and hoping it will pull fuel through the old pump, i want to remove the in tank pump completely. My problem is the sending unit. I believe that once I remove the pump the sending unit will not reach to the bottom of the tank. Rather than modifying the original sending unit (might be tricky), is there a sending unit available for my application? Maybe from an originally carbureted camaro? Where can I find something like this? Thanks.

What's wrong with a return style regulator?

Is there a good place to buy a new sending unit?

You can take your sending unit out.. Take your whole unit pump still attached, to a radiator shop. Have them measure how long the pump is in relation to the sending unit, have them weld in a raditor tube the exact same length and curve as the pump, Now you have a fuel pickuip, put a filter inline after the tank before the pump, I have seen alot of people put a pump where their stock fuel filter is.. This pump works good..
