That is kinda nice. You gave a long-ago retired spanner a new life after a little clearancing. Makes me feel better about never throwing away all my old hand-me-down tools.

Doth your 155K mile pump groan or make any noise?
Just wondering what's the normal service life of the beast.
And your fuel pump may be pushing a little more fuel than most, Mr. TireSmoke.

(In-tank-pump-piece ingestion seems to be the most common failure mode for fuel pumps on in-tank pump-equipped Sharks.)

Two points:
1. Be careful when tightening up on the cap bolt/check valve of the fuel pump, it's easy to slip and break off the electrical terminals on the pump (ask me how I know).
2. I agree that the in-tank pump normally destroys the external pump. Has anyone gone w/o the in-tank pump and put a strainer in there instead? Any performance issues?
