    FWIW re: electric pumps, I've long been a fan of the Carter P90091 (and the P60504 and P76438 it superseded) for use with Weber carbs requiring low fuel pressure -- quiet, compact and reliable, and its gerotor pump mechanism provides a smooth, continuous flow, unlike solenoid piston-driven designs. Maybe this tip comes a bit late if you already bought yours, but at least of benefit to others playing along here.

    You get the longevity and quiet operation of a liquid cooled pump but they're costly.

    The Carter pumps are sturdy and reliable (I learned from a Datsun guy they use them to pump and cool differential coolers on 510s and Zs) but I thought they were a little noisy for my tastes. We used Airtex pumps at the restoration shop I worked at. FWIW.

    Thank you for the suggestions, I will consider them. I have not yet gotten an electric fuel pump, but am doing my best to find a good one. I appreciate the suggestions. I didn't know I had new replies to this thread, sorry for the late reply.
