any one smarter then me

okay should i use the manual fuel pump on the block of the engine? or ... should i use the fuel pump in the gas tank?
if i use the manul fuel pump can i just pull the fuse for the electric one in the tank? or is it safe to use the electric pump on a vac. sencondary carb?and just put a block off in the engine pump hole
thanx. jer

If nothing is wrong with the pump in the tank why not use it?

jer

no there isn't any thing wrong with the one in the tank but i wasn't sure if i could use it with a carb

If you're running a carb, you'll need one on the block. The fuel pump in the tank will have too much pressure for a carb.

okay can i just pull the fuse and let the manual pump syphin throw the electric pump in the tank ?........also the pump in the tank was for a 2.8 l engine and the new engine is a 5.7L whats the presure rating for both if you know?
thankyou

You could run the electric pump ....you just need a regulator to keep the pressure down to around 6 psi. I have a mallory 4 port, it`s been running my car 5 yr`s at least...so no issues with longevity or however you spell that :-)
