holley mech pump would be a good way to go...pending on the model you get.. you may need an adjustable regulator

which would be a good model for just a stock engine?

Replace the pump, good luck with lines, I hate busted knuckles

Get some CRC Freeze Off, spray it for 15 seconds on each line, it will freeze and crack the rust and give you power to just turn the line(if you have metal lines).

No, i just wanted to know how hard it is to route the rubber ones back to the tank. I only have one hard line on my car, and it's like 2 feet (straight up to the carb).

And Alero99...huh? I'm parking on level ground in my garage, but i don't see how an incline or decline could cause a leak anyway.
