After the cheap pump I bought 10 years ago from Autozone finally died last month, I upgraded to a Holly 'red' fuel pump available at most hot-rod shops. I'll post some pics of the pump installation, pressure regulator and braided lines later. This is a very similar set-up to Ron Earp's ITS car and can be considered somewhat 'overkill' as my old pump did just fine during in my limited racing adventures.
The basic upgrade from the original pump is a solid-state version that eliminates the troublesome points. Personally, I went through 3 Lucas pumps and refuse to try them again, others have had fantastic luck.
Generally speaking, you can adapt virtually any off-the-shelf pump designed for a mid-70s MGB to work with JH (that's how I ended-up with the above mentioned Autozone pump when Lucas#3 failed). The only spec you need to keep in mind is fuel pressure should be 1-4psi.
