In my '67 K/10 Suburban, I had a Holley Red electric pump under passenger side on the frame and it was loud. Also it was contributary to a 'mishap' when my air cleaner caught fire from a bad backfire. That caused an engine fire. The insurance totalled it. Now it's got a Salvage title.
I do use the electric fuel pump now to transfer gas out of jerry cans and into the tank of my '71 GMC.
TLDR: Get Mechanical.
