Any high perf mech pump should work good.
If the buzz is to loud then try the Carter, Eddie or any one of the mech pumps. They can pump enough fuel for a 600 H P or better motor.

Yes, that pump is too small for your application. Suggest a Holley HP125 or HP150. These are gerotor pumps - quiet and will deliver the fuel you will need for that 500 incher.

I replaced my loud Holley blue pump earlier this year with one of their new gerotor pumps. I measured its output to my carb and it was basically the same as the old pump. But it is a lot quieter and more of a whirrrr rather than a growl.
Master, again and still

That was many years ago.
His car is a street car, the noise sucks. Almost any mech pump will do the job for most street cars. 69 Dart 440 is right on.

Its not for 1/4" fuel line. Its 1/4" NPT
I understand that, my question is I've got a 3/8" pickup and line all the way to the carb and w/ the Carter, unless I'm missing something, it chokes down to 1/4" in and out of it. Seems like a mismatch, but I do see a lot of performance cars using them... The Holly mech uses 3/8 inlets and outlets I believe, but I don't know anyone who uses it. Hmmmmm.

I went through two of those pumps ( the first one leaked ). Yes, they are 1/4" NPT in and out. Mounted mine by the gas tank and ran a 3/8" line to a single 750 Demon. At the time my small block was making about 425HP. The pump would not keep the carb full through a full 1/4 mile pass. It would run out of fuel just before the lights. Went to a Holley HP150 geroter pump and I now go through the lights with 3-4 psi ( making considerable more HP ) . Just my experience, but I will never buy another vane pump. They're for kids!

Just get a Mallory electric, swap it in place with the holley and be done with it. Keep the benefits of an elec pump but not hear it growling.
I had one on my Duster. 444ci 11.43 @ 120mph with the 110 street/strip version. You'd hear it just a little when you put the key on but thats it.

Holley pumps work.
