You might have a bad fuel line hose, they can collapse and or split when they get old and deteriorate ,could be sucking air making the noise.

Has the inlet hose at pump been removed and low pressure shop air applied to tank fill tube for priming the fuel line?
Yes, today's recipe kills fuel hose.
Pump is fine.

I ran an electric pump mounted near the tank on my big block '69,after that I never had any vapor lock or fuel delivery problems even again.
