Few Rebuild questions
I have a few questions about my 1969 mustang coupe, has a 351w engine rebuild heads with roller rocker studs, I'm planning on working on the block here soon. But my questions are, I have a Holley electronic fuel pump that I'm putting on it, i was planning on putting it where the mechanical one was after I capped the hole off, is that OK to do or not? And if anyone knows the stock displacement voltage of the coil, I was thinking about replacing it with one that runs 50000 volts, but also not sure if that would burn out my spark plugs faster.

Electric fuel pumps generally need to be mounted near the gas tank. They are considered pusher pumps so they can't generate enouigh suction to pull fuel from the tank if you mount them far away. check the directions that come with the pump to be sure. Hotter coils are availble to run with your stock ignition. Most folks run a Flame thrower coil if they want a hotter spark.

Spazillion volt coils are overrated. If your car is running right, you don't need it, and if it's not, they won't help.
Even in the 50's and 60's, there were all sorts of ignition upgrades around, but when Mickey Thompson built his HEMI head-equipped 427 Thunderbolt, he used the stock mechanical fuel pump and this ignition system:
