Convert from a TBI to a 4BBL Carb

[motovate]

OK so some of you are going to think I am going backwards here - but for my purposes I'd rather have a 4 BBL carb on my 1988 Chevy K2500 4x4. I have the manifold on and the edelbrock carb on and hooked up.

What I'm wondering is can I just hook up the carb fuel line to the outflow side on the tank in the same place as the TBI was and just unhook power to the intank pump - then hook up a 4-5 PSI electric fuel pump running power from the battery through a relay and switch to run the pump? Seems to be a good Idea but I'm not sure if the intank pump will let fuel flow through it or will be too restrictive and overheat the pump???

Any input appreciated!

Holley sells an adjustable fuel pressure regulator that will work with the stock pump.

do you know which one and which pressure range is recommended?

TBI only flows like 15psi, so super easy to tone it down. Just stick a regulator upstream of the carb and you're set. I did it on my Crown Vic with a pump that flowed 38psi stock.
