On a 1980 TR8 with carbs, if I install an in-line fuel pump will the
pump draw fuel past the inop original pump or, does the original pump go
into some sort of "safety" mode when it's not working whereby fuel can
not pass thru its internal works; therefore blocking fuel flow to the
engine?

TIA

You can draw through the in-tank pump unless the in-tank pump is inoperable
because it is clogged with rust particles.  (Ask me how I know)
