Electric Fuel Pumps

For low pressure- twin 40 DCNF's- I've been using a Mallory 12v pump but may need to change it. Anyone have good luck with the Facet "cubes" or their Posi Flo or Gold Flo pumps? Or any other small, reliable pumps?
 
I'm using a Porsche 914 electric pump....

Works great. Noisy as heck. Previously I used a single Facet for 20 years of service.
 
Don't like the Facet "cubes" they deliver fuel in pulses which can affect the float needle/seat valve operation. A small tank or reservoir near the carb fixes this.

The Facet cylinder (Originally Bendix) is a good pump and has a long record of reliable service.

Might want to consider using a bypass type fuel regulator with fuel return line which helps to reduce stress on the fuel pump.
