Manual or Electric Fuel Pump???

I am swapping from 305 tpi to 350 Carbed with 600 cfm edelbrock carb. Would you go with the electric fuel pump with regulator or install manual fuel pump? Thanks.

I would probably install a regulator on the stock pump. Using a manual pump would make your arm tired in a hurry.

If you can use a mechanical pump, do. Electrics can support more power, but are noisier, less reliable, and generally more trouble.
