Something along the lines of this is the go....

Webers and most carbs do not want much pressure... only a couple of PSI 2-4 generally ... Anything more than about 6 need a reg.... 75PSI is a fuel injection type pressure and WAY to high...
Too much pressure and it will flood or worse leak and we all know that the dizzy of a Pinto is perfectly positioned under the carb to burn/vaporise any leaking fuel.... (What sound does a dog make ??? )
 
I am sometimes wary of sites selling/promoting particular types of pumps and bagging others.   The little facet type pumps do NOT deliver high PSI - IF you get the right one... I have used these on a number of cars for years and only had 1 failure -and at around $50 from most auto shops are a bargain and I keep a spare in the spares box....

Thanks guys.
Sad story with the pump.
When i first started i bought a holley style pump but couldn't find anywhere to mount it.
So i got a bosch style pump - too big. Blew my pressure gauge :-(.
So a friend got me a little in-line pump (can't remember the name) which I said had to be a rotary pump (which he thought he bought )- turns out it is a solenoid pump. the thug thug thug gave it away :-P
so...... it stays till i can afford a carter pump.
:-(
