My application is a little bit different (Type 4 engine with Weber 44s), but I run an electric pump. It's a Bugpack facet pump, mounted near the rear torsion tube and is powered via a fuel-pump relay kit from Painless wiring. Works well, but when I first got it running I was using a $20 purolator pressure regulator that didn't work for crap. I wasn't getting enough fuel, and the engine was terribly starved. Finally, I found that the regulator didn't flow worth crap, no matter how it was adjusted, and the cheap pump only puts out about 4psi anyway, so I ditched the regulator and feed the carbs direct. It's worked well for about 2000 miles now with no problems.
If I did it again, I'd probably go for a different pump, most likely a rotary one. I heard they are great, and much quieter than the "midget with a machine gun" that currently pumps fuel.
Later,
