maybe we ought to ask why you want an in tank pump for a carbed setup? Plenty of external ones have been used for decades and way simpler to install.
That said, my 87 Diplomat had a factory in tank pump to supplement the mechanical one. It was a cylindrical pump that was essentially mounted where the pickup sock would have gone, then the pump inlet had it's own sock. It was locked up when I pulled it out and I had no idea there was a pump in there till then, so who knows how long it had been locked up, didn't seem to be needed to me.
Fair question. Frequently I don't drive the truck for weeks at a time. When I do it's either give it a drink of gasoline down the carb throat or crank for what seems like forever before it fires. Have replaced the pump, the fuel line sock, and leak checked the fuel line. I'm just tired of this and feel an electric pump will solve the problem.
