Cody_B - depends on the vintage, I suppose. Mine has two pumps, one low-pressure pump in the tank, and one high-pressure pump along the frame rail.

I don't know that a carb system would need the high-pressure pump.

I've always considered carbs to be the high-tech equivalent of a toilet - just flushing gas down the tubes.

By speed density - I am assuming that this truck is a late 80s/early 90s vintage. Will the motor's age and wear withstand hop-ups, or would a crate setup ready-to-go with 'hop-ups' included become economical?

Kind of opened up a whole new ball game in this discussion with respect to the end goal - instead of just keeping the present set-up operational - it seems the goal down the line is more performance.
