Been set up that way for 50 and 41 years, respectively. The GTO goes 12.20s at 120; the Chevelle has been 9.80's at 136mph.

That sounds like a good set up Kieth, nice ET's too. I assume by "tank mounted" you mean mounted near the tank, like on the frame or something near the tank? Those Holly Red pumps are the only ones priced reasonable. I don't know why electric fuel pumps cost so much.
