Peter,
Sound like you had your first bad experience. I for one would replace all the electric fuel pumps with one good mechanical pump back in the engine .. aftermarket pumps do a fine job and much safer.
The Euro and US motors are exactly the same ... I have both and see no difference.
If the carb is the factory auto lite I would replace it with an new style Holley preferably a 750cfm and I personally prefer vac secondaries.
On top of which metal fuel line and a metal fuel filter rather then glass or plastic is always the safest bet. The less rubber hose the better.
