Well most of my experience comes from the diesel end. the Carter pumps generally don't do the job either on the diesel or gas. Should you go this way they are about 120 bucks for the 4601. Get the marine epoxy coated one. these are relatively quiet if used with isolators. You'll need a fuel pressure regulator.
There is an inline Carter 5001 that is much better but still subject to failure. You still need a regulator. Diesel guys like this one.
I have a "blue" that so far is ok. noisy but pumps. I need to get a spare however. That seemes to be the key. Also you might as well make you fuel line with a "zipper" so you can change the pump at road side inthe rain and sleet. haha. Just add a handfull of ball valves. That what the wise diesel guys do.
You can spend $400+ on the gerotor/filter pumps and say solved. Diesel guys spend 500-600 on these and think nothing of it........still occasionally fail in the sleet and rain of course.
Hate to live with it but that the story on electric fuel pumps.
Stay with the mechanical on gass if at all possible.41 Willys 350 sbc 6-71 blower t350, 9in, 4 link
