Hi again Gerry!
I have a puralator electric fuel pump and a puralator
regulator.
My pump was mounted in the trunk and the "ticking"
drove me nuts too. I found a nice, protected spot just
under the trunk on the driver's side and re-mounted
the pump there. The noise problem has since gone away!
I recommend sticking with the electric pump. Get a
fuel pressure gauge and "T" it in just before the
carb. intake. Mount a regulator and adjust the
pressure down until your gauge reads 2.5 lbs. Also,
confirm your float level, it is critical.
If you're still flooding out, the gross jet is another
option.
Take it easy!
