Okay yea it have the
Mike, I believe the hole is there for mechanical pump but no cam lobe to run it. If the pump is not connected in anyway you can remove it and plug the hole. That's what we do when converting to e-fuel.
Nothing wrong with SD fuel pump and SD fuel bowl filter combination. The SD's use a different style bowl and the look is pretty obvious, if that's what you have. Not trying to beat a dead horse here if your not interested but I'll see if I can find a picture if requested. Also the SD fuel plumbing is different where rear head ports are dead headed instead of fuel pressure supply lines. This causes injector #8 to knock and is normal (engineering bo-bo) because injector #6 and #8 fire sequentially causing some fuel starvation on injector #8. There are some fixes for it though.

And thanks for all the help. I've been super busy with work, so I haven't even gotten to drive or work on the truck. Dawn to dusk just about every day. But yea it had the 99 style pump, but the 97 bowl. Not sure about the lines. I don't know what to look for.

Do you have filters on the frame rail? Do you have fuel in your filter housing in the valley?
I have all the parts for you to put this back to stock if you want that. Sounds like you have a Frankenstein efuel setup that is going to be problematic in the future.
