    NAPA has a 3.5 PSI for around $50 usd. I use mine as a booster to start after sitting to long. Make sure you put it as close to the tank as you can and put a filter on the inlet side. If the mechanical quits it will get you home, from experience. 240's and V8's will boil the gas out of the carb when hot. I would put a stock pump on it again.
