These are not modern fuel systems in the majority of 1965 cobra replicas. He has a carburator. Find any mass produced car equipped with a carburator and electric fuel pump regardless of year, you wont. I had an electric one and loathed the buzzing, the loss of prime, never ever trusted it. Roush sells there engines for $14K plus and if it has a carburator it has a mechanical fuel pump.

As far as helping on startup, you float bowls should be full of fuel so it will not start any easier with or without an electric pump. You have a bad battery or charging issue.

Ultimately I think either one is the way to go. Depends on your needs and desires.
