TPI tips

Hi all,
I am doing a TPI conversion on my '68 cst-10 327 this summer, I have already picked up the intake, 1227730 computer, small cap distributor and harness, although I think I am going to get a new one from EFI connection. The system is speed density as well. I am amazed at all the info I have found on the forums so far but I have a couple of questions still.
1) Has anyone used their in-cab fuel tank with a new sending unit instead of mounting an underbed tank ? I also understand I don't have baffles in my tank but thought I could add some foam to counter this similar to fuel cells.
2) The throttle rod has to go. I have read about and located the parts to convert to the 71-72 pedal style. Are there any alternatives to this ? I have read about the Lokar option but as I understand it I would still need to convert to the later cable style?
3) Camshaft suggestions. I have gathered anything less than 112 degrees LSA isn't advisable to get enough vacuum. I am looking for something would help make high 2's HP and close to 300 Ft-lbs. I am not going to be pulling anything or drag racing so a mid-range powerband is probably the best.

Thanks in advance

Ryan
