<VV> Electric fuel pump pressure - specs

[Mark Durham]

Rich, what really needs to happen is the fuel pressure at the carbs
should be the 2.5 to 4 psi. My std engine driven pump was overpowering
the inlet springs and I had to install a pressure regulator. I adjusted
the regulator down until the car stalled, the adjusted it up .25 psi at
a time until the car drove normally down the road. Now I don't get the
flooding and hot start issues. So, use any of those recommended, just
watch the pressure at the carbs. Mark Durham

Hi, Looking to spec out an electric fuel pump for my late model, I
heard the range should be 2.5-4 PSI can someone confirm if this is
correct. Also, any issues if I use a pump with 5.5PSI?

Understand that the  Air Tex E8016S a good unit - any comments? And
what's the proper electrical hook up, how does the oil pressure unit
tie into all this?

Thanks for your feedback.

Rich
