Actually, GM produced several thousand vehicles with carburetors and electric fuel pumps in the tank, beginning in the early 70's and for several model years thereafter including the Vega, Citation, Celebrity, etc.
Vapor lock is very real, which is why Chrysler had a recall in the early 80's that involved installing electric fuel pumps on several models with carburetors and mechanical pumps in order to cure their vapor lock problems.
