Re: '87 tank/fuel pump supplier

87's were fuel injected, but it was throttle body injection which only runs at around 17-20 psi that's why they were just clamped. The barb on the end of the line will keep the hose on under pressure provided you use fuel injection hose and fuel injection clamps, I like to put two clamps on them with the screw parts opposite of each other. Many have been done this way, a couple of my cars included. If you don't feel comfortable with it you could braze on AN fittings, or if you're good with a flaring tool, you could cut the barb off the end and double flare it.You also could use nylon line with compression fittings as long as you can find the right fittings. Keep in mind you will need some kind of flexible hose, rubber, steel braided, nylon ect. so you can drop the tank if the need ever arises. If you hard line it to the frame, you won't be able to move it and trying to drop the tank will probably damage the lines going into the sender.
