12A into a GSL-SE

I just bought a really good SE without a motor and I have a good running 12A carb, I really need a car on the road so I'm putting the 12A into the SE for now.

Am I going to run into any problems?
Will the fuel pump have too much pressure for the carb?

Thanks for any suggestions.

most definitely!! the fuel pressure is about 10X to much. you will need a pump(i'm running a holley red) and a regulator (also running a holley). you might need some other things, but i can't think right now. lunch break over- gotta go back to work

Oh yeah I still have the car that the 12A came out of so where is the fuel pump? Is it in tank, or is out near the rear axle?

you'll see a plate behind the driver underneath the car. the fuel filter is on the back of it and the pump mounted on it between the underbody of the car.
