If you just need a pump for a carb then use a bosch inline pump, they're universal. Probably cost you a good ol 20$. But why are you looking for an FI pump? Carb and FI pumps are totally different, one is meant for 1-6psi and the other is meant for 40-50 psi.

ill look for a bosh

if i got a junkyard pump and a regulator an efi pump would be better to step the pressure down on, since they can flow even better an lower psi, generally
