Napa's generic fuel pumps are the faucet pumps that 90% of people(w/ electric fuel pumps) run in their weber'd vee duds. Make sure you get the one for the 3psi, weber's hate too much pressure. You might want to check to make sure that your floats are set right. If that doesn't fix it jetting might be why it feels like your engine is starving.

I must agree with Supa Ninja since thats the common rule, just forgot to mention it. The reason for getting the regulator is the one stated by Supa Ninja. The reason i those to go with a weber pump is thats designed for those kid of pressures (weber carb requirements) and i didnt need to use a regulator.

One issue thought:

On modern cars If you could hear the pump, it would be working when you turned the ignition ON and stop when the floats are full. In my case the pump wont stop. Now, its could be a cirquitry prb( relay needed) ar thats the way they work, or it could damage my carbs?

I would suggest a CB Performance rotary pump. They are pre-set at 3.5 lbs, quiet and reliable. I have friend running one in his drag cars with 48IDAs. No need to spend the extra $$$ on a Holley red pump and regulator for your application...
