Help Please?
What do I need to do to use this engine linked below, in a carb car. (82Olds) I think we are going to have fuel pump problems. http://paceperformance.com/index.asp...D&ProdID=17668

when I read that link it says no provisions for mechanical pump on that motor

They stopped casting it in there in 1987, everything went EFI then
