""In my experience, the easier it is to replace the electric fuel pump the more unlikely it is to ever need replacement. Cars we have or have had in our family:""
Looks like you have had lots of pump replacements in your family:)Certainly fuel injection has its own requirements. What I am trying to say is that if you have a carburetor, the most reliable pump is the original mechanical pump by far. The electric pump system usually includes the pump itself, the relay, the oil pressure switch, the dash switch or control, and a fuse somewere. When you calculate the reliability of each component and connection, the electric system has no reasonable chance of competing with a mechanical system. Its one reason the presidential limo has a carburetor and a mechanical pump
