yea it will but i believe you will have to install a fuel pressure reducer regulator to drop the fuel pressure from 34psi in the tank to 7psi at the mechanical fuel pump. This was why Cadillac put 2 fuel pumps in the cars in the late 70s early 80s. One in the tank pusshing 34 and one in the fuel rail pushing 17psi.
