    does anyone know the flow rate of a stock mech fuel for a stage 1? I've got a 1970.

    I have heard anywhere from 4-7 PSI. The pumps can actually vary from pump to pump.

    I wanted to know GPH. I have an 850 holley jetted 80 and 88 with an alum b4b intake. The mech. seemed to keep up ( although it did fail) but I replaced it with an electric pump flowing 90 GPH.
    Is this a good combo or can someone recommend a good electric pump with 110 GPH and 7 psi?

    Also, the mech pump had a vent line from the tank to the pump. Should I now block this old vent line or just not connect it to anything?
