Hi,

Years ago I was going to put an electric fuel pump on my 1500 Midget
to get the engine to start sooner.  Right now it takes 10 tries if
it's been sitting a couple of days.

I would point out that from my experience, there might be something else in 
play here. I have never had a problem with the mechanical pump (either original 
ACs or aftermarkets) pushing up fuel. And I can usually get my '79 started on 
the first or second hit even after sitting for the winter. No reason not to 
change if you would be more comfortable with an electric. But I'm not convinced 
an electric will give you any quicker starting.
