Dude, we're all noobs, at some point. I rebuilt my first L6, when I was 12... the old L24 that my car came from the factory with, and now I'm getting my ass kicked by the L28ET I have in it, now. So, even experienced guys have to ask questions. You never stop learning. There are all sorts of fuel pumps out there. But I can't help you on that one, because I've got an aluminum fuel cell in my Zed, and I'm not sure what to do with an electronic pump on a stock gas tank. If you want to spend the money on that kind of setup (trust me.... worth it), I can tell you exactly how to do it, and even give you dimensions for building the mount (hope you can weld). As for the gasket... eBay it up, or toss out a Parts WTB ad, in the classifieds. Someone will have what you need. Go double-thick, or use a strong fuel-resistant sealant. You could also modify your exhaust mani so that there's a way to apply needed pressure to the bottom of the Cannon intake. If I sprink another intake leak, I'll probably go that route, and I'll be happy to post a walkthrough for how I did it.
