I've been building my 87 old salon for 6 plus years I finally got my LT1 in with a inline pump, my problem is that when I go to start it, the car take a while to start (around 5-8 seconds) or should I say it dosen't start like it fuel in injected. I want to put my pump in the tank. What do I need get to put the pump in the tank. I will post a video when I get a chance probably this weekend

It sounds like when you turn it off, the fuel drains out of the lines and back to the tank. Then it has to re-pressure the fuel lines to start it. I'm sure you could install a one way check valve in there to keep the lines pressurized to start faster.

I used a grand national fuel tank with stock fuel pump and hat in tank

x2. You can go to rock auto, and get a replacement tank made by Specrta. You can also get a send from there, if not them guys, check racetronix or look at the turbobuick boards and you can find a sending unit.
