Default Re: Water Pump Flow Rate

I have tested the early pumps I was surprised how much they flowed at 1400RPM I got a good stream of water out about two feet ,(didn't have a flow meter ) I agree with the above they don't really have a heating problem ,its to do with radiator efficiency crud ect Ford offered different radiators (thicker ) for hotter climates , they sometimes can benefit from a extra row of tubes in the ones we use .In the stock cars days they removed every second pump fin I believe this was to stop flow over at high revs , electric fans often don't flow enough ,
