Like Andy (Adileo) and JM said, I have converted a number of OEM fuel pumps to 'pass through' pumps. I've done this for ease of operation and dependability, not to mention retaining the "as Henry built it" look under the hood. When I make the conversion, I install a fuel pressure regulator (set at 2.5) and a kill switch. I also leave the fuel pump pushrod in the block. The conversion is easy and the constant fuel pressure makes driving a pleasure. All my cars/trucks are driven, not trailered, and dare I say it... the conversion to electric fuel pumps eliminates having to deal with the joy of Vapor Lock, in my experience. Try it, you'll like it.
