electric inline fuel pumps??

I certainly don't see the need for an electric pump in your case.....although they are nice for solving vapor lock due to ethanol in fuel.
before I'm confident in going across the United States, per say, I need to feel good about the fuel system and electronic ignition system he used to set this up. For ignition he used one of those ebay ready to run HEI distributors/coil from china. Thought about points, and the coil that doesn't need a ballast resistor.
