Default Carb fuel pump question

My 5.0 still has the Mechanical Fuel pump and I want to replace it with an electric. What do I need and what are some recommendations for manufacturers? I have a carb which I believe is a Holley 550.

Thanks!

Holley Blue Fuel Pump. Its what I bought and it works fine. The blue comes with the regulator which i think is always good but if you want to save some money you can always get a holley red.

Or just stay with a lower cost mechanical that won't strand you on the road of wiring comes lose or a relay pops. Mechanical pumps are still more reliable, fewer moving parts.
