No you Can't.

You could splice another electrical type pump into the fuel line running from the tank to the engine and wire it into the existing wires for the in-tank pump. Parts stores or speed shops should carry them in Holley brand or others. Just make sure it puts out as much pressure as the original and is mounted below the level of the tank. Cheaper than replacing the original.

I would't do this, unless you're comfortable with re-plumbing a lot of fuel line. The kind of pumps you're thinking of wouldn't be great on a daily-driven car anyways. GM's in-tank fuel pumps from the late 80s-early 90s are kind of known to fail often though, I feel your pain.

No. If you mount an external pump, it will not pull fuel through the old pump. Use the right parts.

quit being a tight wad.....pay the 5 hrs labor to have one put in the tank...the mechanical pump will not put out the volume your engine requires
