I have an 86 buick regal limited with a v8 olds and was woundering if they make an electric fuel pump for it? if so where can i get it?
 
Anything can be made to work...for a price. However, there is not always a need for the expense. If you can be more specific as to why you want to run one I may be able to provide you with the correct options.

I just want to be able to run a kill switch on the fuel pump,and not on the distributor

Any aftermarket low pressure electric pump for a carb will work just fine. Summit, Jegs, etc. Be sure to run the pump wiring through an oil pressure switch so that it will turn off if the engine dies to avoid fires.
 
You can get an intank fuel pump from walbro (255 lph) if you have fuel injection or I would go with a set up from Holley.. pump, filter and connectors, blue red or black series..depending on your horsepower needs..

Either way I would put a fuel cutoff inside the compartment.
You probably gonna need a battery cutoff for certain dragracing regs..
 
Why not just get a factory baffled tank for a S.F.I turbo Buick or 4.3 F.I car with a stock intank pump? Run your wiring for the relay and you're done.

Well, do we know if the car is EFI or carb? The factory EFI pumps put out over 40 psi. The carb needs 5-7 psi. Yes, you can buy an expensive pressure regulator and run a return line, or you can just get an electric pump for a carb.
 
Well, he mentioned in the first post that it was a 307 car, so it already has a return line. And $30 for a fuel pressure regulator isn't that expensive...
