The better values would appear to be edelbrock (surprisingly), at 130 gph,
$120:

So 10 gal at 130 gal/hr.... lessee.... hmmmm...... 10/130, gals cancel
out, hmmm..... 1/13 of an hr?? Or about 4.5 mins. Not too bad.
Humping 10 gals in gas cans is no picnic, effort OR time-wise.

The Q then, is, what does MY fuel pump do?
Proly would be theoretically nice to put a second fuel pump in the tank, but
dats proly not so easy. Is it??

Don't even think about it. The fuel pump is one of the most expensive
components on FI cars. I wouldn't even consider it for a car with a
carb. Not worth the trouble.
Just get one of these.

A few squeezes and you get a safe gravity flow rate, with no dangers
of a pump using electricity and higher pressure.
Maybe a gallon a minute. What's the hurry?
You just need to set up your receiving tank(s) on the floor, lower
than the tank. Wrap a piece of tape on the hose so you know how deep
to put it in the vehicle tank to prevent running it dry.
I've used a few of these, and you might have try one with a smaller
diameter hose to get it to snake down the vehicle fill tube.
Some have hoses too fat to work down the tube.
They're cheap enough to try a few of them.
If you can't get one to work, just buy one or two 5-gallon jugs.
There's no real lugging them around. You fill them a couple feet from
your trunk, and drive your car where the trunk is close to the
transfer point.
Too many downsides to consider using the vehicles purposefully
designed fuel system to do a simple transfer.
You're not running a filling station.
