I'm not old but I got the Magnafuel 750 to support my fuel needs. Nice thing about that pump is you can convert it to a belt drive down the road.

i think the magnafuel 500 would suffice but it wont hurt to buy the 750 and it'll be the only pump you ever need.

Magnafuel makes a great pump for the money. -12 to the pump, -10 pump to rails, -8 return for mine.

Damn right old man.

Nice thing about the weldon is that it can pull fuel up to about 12 inches I beleive so depending on how you set up your system it may be a nice choice and their customer service is excellent.
