And I still notice nose over issues on hard acceleration. I wanted a more stock look to the car, thus the reason for the carter pump. I also have 1/2 line and RobbMc Fuel 1/2 sending unit. However the more I think on it the more I don't want to live with either of these issues.

So it either the RobbMc pump or Tanks Inc for me. But If I go to the work of installing a Tanks Inc then I might as well just install a FiTech or Sniper unit.
If you were inclined to do that, it would be the right time.

With a proper bypass regulator involved in the install, you don't necessarily have to though. If your car runs well and you're not having issues with the carb, getting the fuel system sorted may provide the reliability and drivability you want while retaining the carburetor.

You can always add EFI (throttle body or port injection) later on if you desire.
