Plans to re-do my fuel system:

- Edelbrock 17933 performance in-tank pump (255lph)

- All new lines and fittings (suggestions, 6 -AN?)

- Mallory 4309 FPR (for the current carb)

- Vacuum gauge

- Fuel pressure gauge

- Fuel filter just before the carb

That should get the car running correctly as-is with my carb. Down the road if I feel like going back to TPI or to HSR or some other EFI, I can just take the FPR out of the equation. Seem legit?

I need to take my tank down one of these days and see what's left inside as far as the pick-up and strainer go. He said he removed the pump but who knows what else could be missing... I'm concerned right now with how it is running because he took out the charcoal canister and the mechanical pump on the block has no return lines. Could this cause vapor lock or excess pressure in the lines/tank?
