Do you have the original "brick" style fuel filter?
Upgrading to an electric fuel pump is a nice mod. I use the holly blue fuel pump and a carquest 4-7psi pump for back up.
It has two fuel filters, the 89 had a brick.

I guess I will do the lift pump thing eventually, I am still wondering the best way to find an air leak to restore it somewhat before I invest in a pump.

Im going to put an engine in that makes around 200 LESS HP. Disk brake 9 inch kits are dirt cheap.
Handling might suck having an RWD with most of the weight ahead of the front axle and the go pedal won't work on ice.
