I thought all old school carberators need at least 8psi of pressure to fill the carb bowl, so the carb's accelerator will work and keep working.



No, but depends on your idea of 'old school'.

All the carb ever saw or needed was whatever was in the carb's fuel bowl. The only reason for the pump was because the factory gas tank sat below the level of the engine. (I've owned lots of farm equipment where the gasoline fuel tank was above the engine and no fuel pump was present or required.)
For acceleration in automobiles, the initial surge of power came from a little linkage operated plunger type pump inside the carb. Squirted a single pulse of fuel into the carb throat but venturi effect as the needle(s) was/were were lifted and butterfly opened took over and did the acceleration after that.

Remote gas tank.

Watched one of his episodes when he drove it a few hundred miles home, the tanks in the passenger seat, successfully.


So, now I read this post afterwards, same videos that interest me.
