You really need to have the fuel gravity feed into the tank as fast as the pump can push it, so ideally it needs to come out of the bottom of the tank. Thats what I do when using the factory tank and my truck has run flawlessly for the last 52k miles.

Putting the pump in the factory tank will drive you nuts unless you are either deaf, or always drive with the stereo turned up to 11 all the time!

This is my build on my driver truck, has a lot of the same things you are asking about, throttle cable, factory A/C might be worth a look. https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...71-c-10-a.html

Yes, I have seen your build post...good stuff! I applaud you for your approach and creativity. I tend to do the same at times. I think I will re-read your post and try to dig my out of the rabbit hole all the research is making me go down. I need to keep saying to myself "keep it simple..."
