Jan,
I haven't found a reason do use an electric pump and have never had a stock AC
pump fail to provide plenty of fuel, even at over 7500 rpm, autocrossing. I
have seen many cars with electric pumps that have had problems aside from
electro-mechanical failures. Craig Burlingame's Hillman Californian is a prime
example: it continually quit running, and following a hunch (because I had seen
it twice before) I determined it had 11 pounds of fuel pressure at the
carburetor needle valve, jamming it closed. There were two remedies for this:
add a pressure regulator or install a stock pump. I installed the correct pump.
