If you do not have a flaring tool just buy a piece of steel brake line with a flared end cut it to about 2 inches long drill a hole in the tank near where the fuel line comes through the boot floor and weld, solder or braze it in place. Check for leaks overnight and spray it with some black paint you are good to go.

in Line Regulator.
Low pressure = 1-4 PSI
https://www.jegs.com/i/Holley/510/12-804/10002/-1
The SPI tank would be difficult to make work with an in line pump because techincally it would have to pull gas UP from the bottom of the tank = out of the top' and then to the pump = then to the engine.. ALot of work for a normally ' gravity' fed setup.
Normal early tanks have the fuel outlet on the bottom and the fuel naturally gravity feeds the fuel line to the pump.
UNLESS you add an OUTLET to the tank = low in the tank = Like an early tank = or convert the tank to a Earlier Style.
I would have already thought if you completed the SPI to Carb conversion a FP Regulator would already been in place with that conversion.
For simplicity = I would still do the walbro intank pump = and attached Holly FP Regulator.

It's happened to me. Car will idle and rev up fine. Once under load it'll run like shyte. Thought it was timing, fuel etc.
Turns out I had forgot to attach the ground strap attaching the body to the engine.

With your carb you're wanting something like 2 to 3....
A more suitable alternative would seem to be a Facet or similar intended for a carb Mini. Carter make a rotary pump bout I found them somewhat unreliable.
It might be a bit more of a hassle to fit (the FI pump seems to have its outlet higher than you would want for an external pump) but may be worth the effort in the long run..
Cheers, Ian

Is that what you're needing to replace?
CHeck into Walbro 190 LPH in tank fuel pumps.
You can find replacement pumps with filter socks and plug terminals for a near bolt in solution to the SPI Fuel tank.

I have used and works great. (with and SPI) you probably still are running a Fuel pressure regulator so thats OK too.
Hard wire the pump wire first to be 100% certian thepump has gone out. (battery power straight to Fuel pump input)
