Is there a benefit to replacing the stock fuel pump with an electric pump?
IMHO, the only good reason to replace the stock pump with an electric is that your car requires more fuel flow than a stock pump can put out.Is there a benefit to replacing the stock fuel pump with an electric pump?

In street use, I believe, based on my experience with add-on electric pumps, the stock pump will be more reliable than the electric.
What I did on my car to aid in start ups after sitting, was to add a cheap flow through type pump back by the tank. I have a monetary contact toggle switch under the dash, with a relay under the rear seat. I hit the toggle to prime the carb, and once it fills the carb (the sound changes in the pump), I start the car and never touch it again.
For me, this is the best of both worlds. A reliable stock pump, with a priming electric pump to start the car after it's sat for a couple weeks.
