I'd just do away with the electric pump and use your mechanical pump like you would with any other tank on these trucks.

Fuel pump

If i did away with the fuel pump in the tank how would i use the gas gauge then . but i just hooked the 78 fuel line to the fuel pump in the tank and it wont start .it has a new mechanical fuel pump on the truck and a new line .then i put the hose in a gas can and it starts right up but hook it up to the gas tank with the fuel pump in the tank and it wont start

i dont believe it will flow thru that electric pump. Why dont you keep that sending unit in so you can use the gauge then drill another hole and use a bulkhead fitting to run the fuel line in.
