will fuel pump run with swap?

i did the swap from tbi to carb and i was wondering if the fuel pump will still run without the computer? i checked the boards and could not find an answer.

I didn't mean to confuse you. You can use an electric in tank pump with a carb. I thought that was your question and that you were aware of the wiring issues. I have not done this swap so listen to those that cover the wiring in detail. Sorry bout that. I missread your post.

I have, yes it will still run, has nothing to do with it at all, you will need a FP regulator tho to get it at ur lower PSI that you need for a carb. Use it till it goes out mine finally did and dropping the tank aint no fun. Enjoy the power of CARBS
