Does anyone know if there is an In Tank fuel pump available for use with a Carberated set up? I've looked everywhere and have not been able to find one. Thanks for your help.

I just converted my FI setup to a carb, and we used the FI pump that was in the tank, I just had a fuel regulator installed that lowers the pressure to 5-6psi, as I recall the pump in my tank is a Walboro 255

What Caesar said. I decided to go with a mechanical pump due to simplicity. However, you will need to swap timing covers

Aeromotive makes the A1000 carbureted bypass regulator. Kinda pricy but very nice. Just make sure what ever you get is a return style. Dead head regulators and in tank pumps don’t always go well together.

I plumbed my car for a return line, but in the end I actually went with a low-pressure in-tank pump that dead-heads to my carb.
This pump has been feeding about 6psi to my 600cfm VacSecondary carb atop my 302 without any problems so far.

And this strainer sock

about $30 for both, a pair of stainless steel hose clamps to retrofit it to the factory hanger... and good to go!!

I used the stock fuel injection pump and this regulator with a return line. https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/mrg-2015/overview/.

Thanks for this info... I just ordered the pump and the hanger I'll need... I will be much happier with the pump in the tank and out of the way... Thanks again.
