Electric or Mech Fuel Pump? For a carb...

sorry, I guess I could run out and blow $300 or $400 Canadian, or more if I go with that fancy AN stuff, to solve at least one of your babbles, lol.I mean baffles lol.
I'll tell you why, I run a mechanical pump. Cuz it works. And it keeps on working for years and years and years. Mechanical pumps hardly ever just flat fail. They usually give lots of warning time. But hey, if it pukes,I can bolt another one on, 500 miles from home, with nothing more than cheap hand tools.
But that fancy electric pump is a ticking time bomb.And when it gives up, you are walking. I hate walking. I am too old to be limping along the highway. And if I can find one, 500 miles from home, I am gonna need to jack up the car high enough to get my skinnyazz under there, and prepare for a gasoline shower. I am also gonna need a safety stand and a roadside safety kit. Plus afterwards I am gonna have to rent a Motel room and take a shower. Well that leads to a couple of beers and supper, and I am already a day late for work. Lord help me if my wife came along:(
OK so I'm rambling a bit now, but you get the picture.....
My pump is 16 years old, and has over 100,000 miles on it, and remind me again how much I paid for it.I think I'm down to about $2 bucks a year.
And don't get me started on the racket some of those pumps make.
This..Did a couple of electrical pumps,on occasion....I just don't see a need,until nitrous ,or another power is added.A good Carter street /strip pump,with a good diameter fuel line (3/8"the is nice,I have a 1/2" line,because I ran an electric pump..It do the job,wasn't worth the tradeoffs...),makes life simple. Personal experience..TO ,THE O.P...:????(Does anyone ,other than you the gear head,(know how to diagnose,a dead fuel pump?....)drive the car?
