electric fuel pump with stock gas tank

The pump looks like a Bosch style efi pump, it is backwards.
Probably mixing up the photos. magnumdust shows his pump setup (not OP), which appears to be a Walbro pump. The Bosch pumps (VW, Audi, M-B, BMW) have a bigger diameter, and a check-valve Banjo output fitting. Walbro did make one of their thin pumps for those Euro app's. If you want to use one (as I did), the only place to buy the matching Banjo fitting I found is a Delorean site (used same pump).

Other tech notes. You can use an EFI pump for carb applications. It is happy flowing at 5 psi output pressure, and will deliver a lot more flow there. Of course, you need a return tube to the tank, and can probably get by without a pressure regulator since the carb can run off the normal drop in many return plumbings. You can install the EFI pump in the engine bay, off the lower frame rails. I did that in 2 cars so far and works great, though most don't believe that.
