fuel pump

ok my fuel pump to a dump in the middle of town the other day and now i have to replace it, only 3 days after it was registered and insured. i have an electric fuel pump but i dont if it puts out the same pressure.
how much pressure does a stock mechanical fuel pump off of a 305 "H" LG4 put out?

any help would be greatly appreciated

About 5-6 psi.

The LG4 and L69 use the same mechanical pump.

Where exactly is this electric pump of which you speak? There should be one in the fuel tank as well as the mechanical on the engine block.
