I used the original in tank pump,just put a return regulator on.
same thing I did, 89 318 is still a LA engine, no need to change out timing chain cover plus mine has the eccentric for the manual fuel pump.

You can't tow with the OD on, or you shouldn't. Load of crap. My 92 has towed through 30 states in OD, deserts to mountains. 292,000 miles and counting. Keep it cool and you'll be fine.

This sounds a lot like one of those situations where the choice is either; do it right(remove the tbi and all smog stuff, upgrade induction & exhaust), or.......do it over(because you thought you could get "there" with the tbi and smog stuff in place).
IMO any efforts revolving around retaining any of the factory tbi/smog related equipment will end up providing disappointing/unsatisfactory results.
Years ago we replaced a 318-2bbl with a re-ringed 360 in a 77 B200 van with a performer, 600vs Holley, comp he268 cam, recurved dist and headers...... And it was a pretty darn good tow vehicle.

This is a load of crap, the OP has a 318 and should not tow in OD. He don't have a diesel engine.  Why even post that feets? Proud of your diesel? To the OP, I know your in Sweden...but I would not even try to tow a car with a 318 unless it's flat and a short distance.

To the OP, I know your in Sweden...but I would not even try to tow a car with a 318 unless it's flat and a short distance. If he is flat and level then OD won't hurt with a moderate load. As soon as he looks at the mountains then that 318 is going to need a lower gear. If he manages to build a little torque and the engine can handle OD without a struggle then he will be fine. There is no problem towing in OD if the engine can provide enough torque to get the job done. We all know that job varies with terrain and load. In his application, the transmission will kick out of OD when necessary. The no-towing-in-OD nonsense goes way beyond this thread. It even pops up in the diesel forums from time to time.
