 The holly red is definitely TOO noisy.   I would not recommend.  Faucet

It's not good to have your car tied up for 2 years at a body shop, question ,Recommendation for a quiet fuel pump, Secondly my red battery lite stays on the second I connect the New batt?My key is in my hand, still on, any suggestion are very welcome.  Beau No comment on your charge light (orange?) issue because there are a lot of ways to wire this (generator? Alternator? 1/2 wire?).  If everything is wired correctly it’s probably diodes gone.
But on the fuel pump I quite like carter for high flow and not too loud.  The Holley pumps are too loud in my opinion and less reliable than carter.  If it’s a stock engine maybe a facet or even stock replacement SU style, but the replacement style without points.  Lots of British cars use them and they are more or less silent.  No good for >180/200hp probably though.

I guess it depends on what you consider a quiet fuel pump.

Remember the stock fuel pump is good for around 200 HP; anything more and you need more fuel flow and possibly larger fuel lines.

I have a Purolator cube style fuel pump mounted in the trunk for my stock engine.   I can hear it until the engine starts.

The way you isolate the mount for the fuel pump can be key to the noise level.

Dash Red light – always check the wiring diagram for correct wiring connections.

Check for correct wire connections at the Voltage Regulator and at the Ignition Switch.

Make sure the ign. Switch is in the OFF position.

Accessories, OFF, RUN, START are the 4 positions.

My guess is that the White wire from the dash light is on the #1 ignition switch post with the brown wire instead of the #2 post with the White wires.

It is also possible that the ign. Switch is hung up somehow, turn the ign. Switch with the key several times with no battery power 1st.
