Yes with regards to the tank, you need an MPi item (Im not entirly sure, but i think you can use an SPi tank with MPi pump?)

Indeed use an Astra MPi Pump as its a straight swap.

A 1400 SR will be a carb engine.

You use an SPI tank when you're using the MPI in-tank pump. I think all GSis had external fuel pumps so you'd require a GSi tank to go with that (somebody clarify?)

Theres about 5 wires IIRC that you just hard wire into the your SR's loom.

Ign live to ign barrel
Feul pump trigger wire
RPM gauge wire from coil pack to clocks
Oil temp or pressure (one or the other)
And some other random wire lol that i cant remember at 7.30am lol
