Says they are good for 4-7 PSI, 35 GPH. I'm wondering if this would work on my 79 w/383. I know the PSI is good, but is 35 GPH too low? I don't track the car much so I don't run WOT constantly.

Any thoughts?

Your gas tank holds 18 gallons...have you ever used 18 gallons in an hour? No you haven't...

Haha. You'd be suprised. 10MPG when cruising and waaaaay less on the gas. But I'm still hoping 35 would be enough.

GDaina

for cruising, more than enough

The numbers are fine but I would doubt it's longevity. I would hate to buy and replace one of those every year because it wasn't built for anything but making that company some extra money. They sell that at Autozone too, in the section with all the gaudy chrome stuff.

Willing to bet it's 35GPH free flowing, dropping off dramatically when it actually has to overcome a restriction (pressure) ???

How much does the stock mechanical pump flow?

V-Twin

40+ Gph? But, being a diaphragm pump it's positive displacement, not so for an electric (non gerotor or vane) pump

I sold a few of those pumps to some street rod guys when I worked at Redline Automotive and everyone of them stopped working in less than a week. Installer error or faulty part? I'm not sure but I don't want one. If you want an electric pump buy a good one or buy a new pair of shoes.(for walking)
