Ok I've pulled my 2.7 with CIS to do a rebuild, I've got a 2.7 with carbs I'm installing while my motor is down, trying to make it to RRC.

So my question, can I install the carb fuel pump and just leave my FI pump in place, will the carb pump be able to pull the gas thru the other pump( power disconnected ) or will I have to take it out.

Or should I just use the FI pump and install a pressure regulator.

The FI pump is in the front trunk(75-76 location) was thinking of just mounting the carb pump on the firewall in the engine compartment.

This is just a temporary swap so trying to keep it simple, and easy to change back.

Thanks,
Jeff
