Yes, it's not the worst thing ever to have to crank for 10 seconds or so. And yes, on a car with the shaker it's too much of a PITA (to me) to prime the carb. This will solve the priming issue and provide a little support for the mechanical pump to overcome the 3/8 line restriction.
Those pumps are pretty noisy. If you go that route I'd suggest something quieter like a Mallory (or something similar)

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
