While I'm not opposed to electric pumps out of hand, I'd first try a modified MoPar high-capacity "regular" fuel pump available from Phil Harris at Fairborn Studebaker. My 1964 Daytona sedan with power steering vapor-locked constantly until I installed one of Phil's Mighty MoPar pumps and re-routed the fuel line from the pump to the carb out near the fender apron, rather than thread it through the stock location that I knew was too much of an incubator.
The car has performed perfectly ever since; not a hint of vapor lock during the two years since I installed it.
Likewise, my 1964 Daytona convertible with power steering and base 259 was starting to vapor lock under hotter conditions, but not all that regularly. I installed a Phil Harris Modifioed MoPar pump on it and have had no trouble since.
