Default EFI kits

I would like to see if anyone has used the EFI kit. I am looking at the Holley or the FITech kits, I have heard that the pumps are made for pressure and not sucking. My 79 sucks from the top of tank. Summit said to put a in tank pump.... do they make a sending unit with a pump that fits in the tank for the 79? Info on my car it has a LQ9 with a 700R4 tranny. I just need a gas delivery system and I can be back on the road for spring. Thanks for your help. And everyone please have a happy and safe new year

Go to each of the manufacturers websites. Fitech makes a pump in a drum "fuel command center" that your existing setup would supply and it pumps to EFI. Holley makes a pump system that bolts to your frame. Check all the prices then look at Holleys replacement tank kit that includes a pump, its about $200 more over just a pump

Many here have used a sending unit from an 82 which is set up for an in tank pump, just switch out the pump for more pressure.
