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

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.
if your mechanical fuel pump blows oil all over your engine, I'm thinking it wasn't hooked up to the right line
