The electric pump was a relatively cheap option under a couple of hundred bucks and will forfill the appearance issues if he can manage to get it in the old housing. Fuel pressure is similiar just more reliable. I dont labor over every thread and was unaware of the actual combo blocker was using. In my case I wanted a stock look but better performance its no race motor (about a hp a cube - flywheel for a 355) and no baffled tanks just a relatively stock looking motor that goes better than the average and wont disappoint me if I have just gotten out of the wifes ss and gone for a spin.
