Default Manual V Electric Pump

I've got a kind of opinion question for you guys. Right now my system is set up for an electric fuel pump, but I have to change the fuel pump to a lower psi so do you think I should go with a manual fuel pump and slap a new timing cover on or should I go for another electric pump that costs more? Thanks for the help!

Stick with electrical, yes it is more expensive but going back to a mechanical fuel pump is a jump back into the past.

Maybe you need a regulator instead of a whole new pump.
Are you running carbed?
