There is an electric pump mounted on the frame rail just below the driver door. I have heard these pumps are better at pushing fuel than sucking it in. I suppose that's why most EFI engines have the pump in the tank. My plan is to use the stock pick up and secure a return line in the dimple adjacent to the pick up in the sending unit. The origional set up (fyi) with a pick up on one side of the tank, and return on the other had issues when the tank was about 1/4 full due to sloshing around corners. A center pick up (physics would tell me) shouldn't have the same problem to such a degree.
