I have installed a helper fuel pump in line of the mechanical fuel pump and it seems to help a little.

Cranking engine 30 times vs say 20 times with the helper fuel pump.
You do not need a helper fuel pump, or a high performance one for that matter. Carbs don't need much fuel pressure to run correctly. Edelbrocks are pressure sensitive more so that other carbs. A stock style mechanical fuel pump is ALL you need.
