I hate noisy elec pumps & have 2 of these Mallory gerotor style pumps. One on my 71 W100 with a pumped up 383 Magnum with an Eddy 800 Thunder & the other on my 68 D100 with a 383 magnum & Eddy 650 AVS. They're super quiet & you can barely hear them running. These are set to 7psi & that's what my regulators are also set at. Mallory makes 70, 110 & 140 gph versions. 110 would be fine for your application. Summit has them for $234.

Hey thanks for the reply...I've seen your trucks on the sweptline sites before...love them. I have a Mallory 140 sitting on the shelf...and it is pretty quiet. Just worried about longevity on a daily driver (for my teenager)....plus I was trying not to use a regulator because it would have to be a deadhead I think with the stock tank still behind the seat and in perfect condition inside and out (someone had emptied it and ran the truck on propane for many years) and no easy way to add a return. I didn't really want a return coming into the Cab as well.

Rob C....do you know which Edelbrock pump that your running? One of cheap red plastic body pumps? or the big more expensive "Quiet Flo" pumps?

I just switched to the red Edelbrock when I couldn't live with the Holley Blue racket anymore. First time I turned it on I had to look to make sure it was running properly 'cause it was so much quieter. Too soon for any long-term opinion, but the initial impression is very good, and it is available at the local chain auto parts store for nearly the same (very reasonable) price as online. I'm using the 4-7psi version with an Edelbrock 1406 carb feeding a 5.9L. Eddy Red Pump

Honestly..an oem pump like that would probably be best...just not sure how I could retrofit it to my tank behind the seat. Didn't know they had a non efi...10 psi intake pump...ill research that, see if it's possible to use in my tank.
edited...But I just realized, this would put pressurized fuel in the cab as well.

My 68 D100 also has the tank behind the seat & I have a fuel cell that we were going to place inside the frame, under the bed, but think we're going to add a return line to the stock tank so I can finish the resto & get the truck up for sale. The gerotor design pumps are the quietest I've heard & the Holley 150 gph one I had on a Hemi Challenger years back was just as quiet as the Mallory. I just worry about having a return plumbed into the cab with pressurized fuel...just doesn't sound safe to me. To a rear tank...no problem.

I think most electric pumps are going to want a regulator with an Ed type carb. 5 psi max per my understanding. I don't think deadhead is a bad option with good regulator (eg Holly). Looks like your probably right...i have a Mallory 140 in the garage and just realized I even have a old Holley red pump somewhere ...but I think it needs a rebuild if I remember right. I originally didnt even considering using either one because I didn't want to use a regulator....but might as well use one of them if I need to use a regulator anyways with this carb. Thanks for all the advice!

There is a mini pump - Mr Gasket - with lower pressure setting and not too noisy. I think it would be marginal with 350 HP however. 5 psi is safe. Max is 7 psi. You may very well have issues past 7 psi. You could, for a high performance engine, run a higher psi pump and use a regulator to keep a steady constant flow and pressure. If you have a return line as OE equipment then I suggest making use of it. It will help keep the fuel cooler as well as not stress the pump.
