and reliability, and quiet.
The MGB came with an electric fuel pump too. Back when I had a BGT I
used to get out and beat it with a knock off hammer once & a while when
it stopped working.
But modern cars really didn't transition over to electric fuel pumps
until they went to EFI that required higher pump pressure than a carb
did and needed the high pressure to be there before the engine started
to turn over.
