What's the main reasons to getting the new fuel sender unit? I'm out of the loop on this one
I'm not sure that many people will swap out functioning pumps and senders for this, but if you are doing a total tank service it sure is a nice way to go.
I hope to get this car started this weekend, Monday at the latest. But without good brakes I won't be going far. I'm most interested in how well the sender works.

I'm waiting to see if it stops that pump buzz when the gas gets hot.

Are there any available pressure or volume specs available? Like I remember reading in the past that the stock pump was capable of something like 75psi at 29gph (I believe). Is this the same or has int increased. Just wondering if it's increased. I'm sure it's possible. This pump for instance is capable of 43gph at 85psi: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/MSD-In...isplayId=41792
Since the inlet and outlet hoses are the same size I don't think the volume pumped could change without an increase in PSI. You would have to measure pressure before the distributor because the primary pressure regulator will keep it at 5.2 bar from then on. The rest gets sent back to the tank. I will see if I can measure this but not sure if I have the right fittings for my CIS tester to check before the distributor.
