fuel pump options

[Mikey von]

needing to decide what to go with.

1) I can run the mechanical pump off my '89, which had the head gasket/hydro locked problem.

2) Run the electric which came off the K5 with cracked block. It work before block cracked. It is a Facet. I found these numbers on it (have no clue what they mean) -
e11*72/245*95/54*0536*00

3) New mechanical pump.

4) New electric pump.

I am trying to be good with my money. I have a turbo return fitting on my oil pan.

I would go with the electric pump

What is this supposed to be?

Supposed to be an upgraded version of the frb5 alot of guys are using

I would get a Walbro FRB-5 or 28 from Leroy at PMDcable.com if he has any.

That Facet you have might not be flow on fail and it may only be about 4psi. Although there are Facets for 6-8psi which would work, cylindrical, and yours is probably a square.

Mine is cylindrical.

Well if you hook it up and it puts out 3-5psi throughout your acceleration its a good pump to use. Will need a fuel pressure gauge you can monitor, good to have any way you go.

OK found the part number on the electric. It looks like it will do the trick and that is what I plan on rolling with, unless someone else has a good reason not to.

4.5-5 psi with 32 gph. It has a replaceable internal 74 micron filter.

It is the one on the left part number 476087. http://www.facet-purolator.com/images/technology/hd_pdfs/Gold-Flo_sheet.pdf

That's about the same numbers as our stock pump. I would think it would be a little shy at wot especially with the motor that your using.
