pinto/dellorto's - fuel pump?

Whats the best option for the above combination?

I also need to bare in mind I'll probably swap to zetec/bike carb combination in the future - so it'd be nice to get something that will do both.

Was looking at facet red-tops on ebay for about £55.

used the standard mechanical fuel pump when I had the pinto, ran on twin 45's no problem.
swapped to VX redtop- now using a solid state fuel pump on twin 45's bought from demon thieves code no- FSE 40185K £45 + the vat
goes very well!!

Ive heard of people running twin webers on Pinto's up to 150bhp no probs on std mechanical fuel pump.
i also got hold of a 205GTi ages ago that was running twin dellortos on a facet red top pump. I tried to use the pump off it on my pinto when it was running a 38DGAS carb with bad results (too much fuel even with regulator). i concluded (very basically) that the red top is ok for high states of tune but for basic fast road type applications is a bit overkill. Hopefully someone will be along soon to add some theory or experience to this.
