You should use “Pulp Cthulhu”, literally fits all your needs and is an awesome game system.  Its even already set in the 30’s, and has some adventures (that can be used for ideas).

Do not let the Cthulhu tag scare you off.  You do not have to include/use any of the sanity mechanics or the use any of the Horror Aspects of the Mythos in your games.   The system runs just fine with out them.   Its easy to learn, and robust as well.  It can be used for any era really or genre.

The system has a built in LUCK mechanics that really help with the Pulp feel for games, even the escaping sure death moments.  Also, Pulp of Cthulhu comes with built in mechanics for weird science as well.    Its all skill based, and its foundation is on investigation.
