To the OP...if you have to have your grubby little paws in it, and no one else's, you probably had better resign yourself to the fact that it's going to run like dog chit...because it will.
It takes half a lifetime to learn the ins and outs of a mechanical device with the tolerances of an inline pump, and a healthy checkbook to buy the equipment necessary to do proper hot rod modifications....also, it takes knowing you can't do it all yourself, and knowing that someone else might just know more than you do.

Tight tolerances don't mean complexity. And on the grand scale of mechanical things that a person can get their hands on these pumps aren't complex at all. Ever take apart a mechanical wristwatch or seen the inside of a grandfather clock with a 100 year calender? I'm not really sure why some people have their panties in a ruffle because I like to know how things I own work. And the pump doesn't run "like chit" at all. It has one specific performance issue (high rpm fueling) and runs awesome in all other regards.
