I did something similar when I put Projection on my Diplomat. They didn't have hydramat back in the 90's though so it didn't work so well and I ended up going with a surge tank. But I have been impressed with Hydramat and I bet that would have fixed my fuel starvation issues.

You are right, it didn't take much to mod the pickup to make it work. But, and this may be important, the Diplomat already had an in tank pump to feed the mechanical pump, factory setup, so it had the extra electrical connections already there. Not sure how you'd deal with that.
