I didn't realise that the fitting of electric fuel pumps to V8 Bristols was so common. I suppose I shouldn't be so surprised given that you can buy a Mopar branded blanking plate for the spot where the mechanical pump goes (for B/RB engines at least). That suggests it is very common practice. It certainly makes starting the 400 CID engines much easier from cold.
I don't think it really matters what pump you have so long as it can supply an adequate flow rate and the pressure isn't too high. You wouldn't want any more than 5 psi, but you can use a fuel pressure regulator if necessary, I have one on my 411.
