Uhhhh, your suggested modifications make sense except for replacing the metal fuel line from fuel pump to carb with fuel injection hose? Why put hose near a hot engine? The metal fuel line is a lot safer than a rubber hose.
I agree that a metal fuel line is safer than a rubber hose. That same metal fuel line contributes to vapor lock during the summer time. My fuel injection hose is inside of another rubber hose for an extra measure of safety, as with everything else your mileage may vary.
