s10 swappers...fuel tank-fuel pump question

[rhodog77]

hey guys,

i have a 1991 s10 with an in-tank fuel pump. I have new guages with a new fuel sending unit. I have to pull the stock sending unit out replace it with the new one in order for fuel gauge to work properly. My question is should I eliminate the in tank fuel pump while i have it out. Im running a mechanical pump on my SBC350. I have heard that the mechanical will pull fuel thru the intank pump. any advice or tips would be appreciated.

thanks

brian
