TBI fuel pump, can fuel be drawn thru it unpowered?

Would it make sense to wire in the electric pump now and use it to feed the carb?

It would, except the pump puts out 25PSI and then I would need to buy a regulator and mount it somewhere. Carb needs about 3-5 PSI.

I do use an electric pump (low pressure )to push through the mechanical.

Understood. The price of an aftermarket regulator can be quite high.

Don't know the exact specifics but a friend of mine on his late '80s C4 TPI converted to carb...used the stock in tank fuel pump. At the carb end, all he did was run a t-fitting with a nitrous pill stuffed in the rubber hose that goes to the return line. I asked what size and was told "trade secret."
