Sure sounds like a lot of over complication for a simple deal. I run a Mr. Gasket pump right in front of the rear end. Been running it about four years now. Other than being a little noisy it works great. If I get the chance I'd change it for the noise but regulate to 6 psi right before the carb, no return and it supplies a 400 hp 360 in every situation. The car can sit for 2-4 weeks and to start it all that has to be done is start the pump, let it run until it deadheads, pump the electric choke carb three times and it fires right up. Sometimes too fast. GOOD grounding is the key.
