12V fuel pump...good thinking. I think I remember reading about it somewhere, but I sure didn't remember my block wasn't drilled for a fuel pump push rod. I just noticed the fuel pump block off plate and figured it would take a mech one just fine..didn't think to check for the pushrod hole.

Nice call on that.

Course I could always do the old "buddy dribbles gas from a gas can while riding underneath the open hood of your car at 5 mph" trick my Dad told me about having to do when he was a teenager in the 50's. Figure I'll just mount the pump it to my engine test run stand, hook it up to the battery with a toggle switch and run a line into the 2.5 gallon tank (also mounted to my test run stand).

Got an Accel HEI sitting in my garage that should work, but so far only luck on googling for a TBI manifold to carburetor adapter is are for Holley's. Guess I'll be on the hunt for a new intake.
