in line electric fuel pump?

does anyone have experience with in line electric fuel pumps? I found out my engine does not have the rod needed to drive the mechanical fuel pump, and I'd have to tear down the front of the motor to install one. I figure an in line electric pump would be a cheaper alternative than having to pay my mechanic to disassemble the front of the motor to attach the fuel pump rod, but am unsure what to get as far as a brand, pressure, and whether or not I need a regulator.

It would have to be mounted right next to the tank, to insure that it doesn't cavitate,
and starve the engine of gas. At least, that was the word on older electrics.
Don't try to use a pump that is made for immersion in the tank for the job.

I ran one on my Regal. I mounted it on the frame right in front of the right rear tire. As for needing a regulator it would depend on the pump pressure, mine was 14psi so I had to use a regulator since carbs really don't like over 6psi. Mounting as close to the tank isn't quite as important as getting it as low as possible preferably lower than the tank.

I put over 80k on it with no problems and it was my play car. I took it to the track like 3 times a week. It was a legitimate 11 second street car.

What brand pump did you have?

I don't remember for sure but think it was a Holley Black. But could of been another brand since I remember some people had told me that the Holley was not the best quality and I might have gone with the Mallory. Both had similar specs I just can't remember since it was over 20 years ago.
