As far as attaching the fuel line and the return lines to the sending unit, I just used regular fuel injection rated hose clamps. I used them in the fuel filter/regulator too.

I used an 87 sending unit, which is already fuel injected, so the in-tank pump I used was just a simple R&R. The pump part # is listed in my thread..... somewhere. Lol. It's an OEM AC Delco pump. And those OEM pumps have been working fine with zero issues.

Now, if you are using 86 and earlier sending units, you will be better off using an external pump.
