Re: Fuel sending unit
Two options - buy this:
82-87 Chevrolet Camaro Pontiac Firebird Carbureted Fuel Sending Unit, Chevy carb | eBay
Or
Mimic the L69 setup and get the Fuel Sending unit for the EFI cars, and buy a "pusher" pump, and wire up an aftermarket relay to activate the pump. From what I read the "general" knew that there was a problem with only using a mechanical pump in these cars. Starting with the L69 they installed a "pusher" pump in the tank. This (I think) was included in the later model LG4 models as well.

Re: Fuel sending unit
Is there a problem feeding the engine without the pusher pump? Ive got an 87 that was factory carb but i believe had an in tank pump that is currently dead. I was planning on switching the sending unit out to the style without pump and just using a mechanical block mounted edelbrock pump but if it needs the pusher pump to maintain proper fuel flow I might need to reconsider my plans
