Holley fuel pumps are bad?

Don't know if this has been posted here before but I've been having sputtering problems under acceleration. I have triple webers, pertronix ignition(with the vacuum advance into the manifild), and a holley red fuel pump. this page describes all my problems, what do you guys think?

Their comments about regulators are vague and not worth much.  A proper regulator setup will maintain pressure. Do you have any regulator at all?  The symptoms they describe are for fuel starvation, not over-pressure.  If you don't have a regulator then you could have 7 psi at the carb, but only if there's a restriction.

 

You could just measure pressure.

I ran a Holley with a regulator for a long time but got sick and tired of the noise! I switched to the Airtex E8016S and couldn't be happier. Have to listen close to even know that it's running. $28. I've got 3xDCOE40 Webers, it has no problem keeping them full at 3psi.
