Driving your family car must be nerve wracking then. When was the last time you saw a car with a mechanical fuel pump?
Full disclosure: it turns out one of my cars has one but it's 53 years old

Which pump is standard equipment on MMI New Block and exchange engines?

Seeing the post Shawn mentioned about a fuel pump with the sediment bowl removed I gave the modification a try to see how easy or difficult it was. With the proper tools (1/8-27 pipe tap and the proper sized drill bit) it was very easy.
