<VV> Electric Fuel Pumps

[chsadek at comcast.net]

I'm with Bryan. I found 3psi is nominally right for my larger Rochester carbs ( 1 1/2" throttle plates and large main jets) racing my D Prod Stinger.

Hi Fred,

I have an Airtex E8016S on a 110, as far as I know all the late model pumps are the same for all engines.  FWIW, we've spun the 110 to 6k with this pump feeding it, no issues.  It's rated at 2.5 to 4.5 PSI and 30 GPH.

The shop manual says 4 to 5 PSI and 1 pint in 40 seconds, that translates to 11 GPH.

Based on the above, I'd expect that Airtex to work fine on any mostly stock Corvair engine.

It seams that every vendor has a 2-3.5 lb pump and a 4-7 lb model as well.  Which is most used with this set up.  Any specific do's and don'ts would be appreciated.
