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

Best advise so far, electric in the tank where it should be, quiet, dont fail and works just like factory. BTW all the mechanical pumps sold now are chinese and last about 2 weeks with corn fuel. The Walbro pumps we have are made in the USA!

I have had Carter mechanical pumps fail within a few miles of installation. One just didn't pump, the other one blew oil all over a once antiseptically clean engine compartment. These were the "good" Carter "race" pumps that go for around $90. That was when the blockoff plate went on the engine and I went electric. Car runs great all the time, in any weather.
