Personally I got a Holley 12-802-1. Good for 110 GPH and comes with the regulator.

Any pump in particular?

How much power do you plan to make?

Will there be any other power adders like NOS or blower or turbo ?

This should work fine and it is cheap. It is the same pump as the Holley "red" pump. Is there some reason you don't want to use a mechanical style pump? Chuck

well i keep my car in a garage and somebody told me that the heat in the garage evaporates the gas used to start the car and mechanical pump takes longer to start the car. usually takes 4 or 5 attempts to start

The fuel in the carb and line from the stock pump are subject to evaporation. The electric pump would allow you to refill the line and carb before attempting to start the engine. Let us know what you decide to do. Chuck

That's exactly why I installed one. (basic Carter gold)

My reasons are:

I don't drive it often so need to crank for a while to get fuel to carby.

Battery also struggles sometimes since it also has been sitting

save the starter motor

best thing I ever did

Make sure the pump is mounted below the outlet on the fuel tank. If the pump is not gravity fed it will burn out in no time.
