Looking to replace/add burnt out fuel pump that was added to V-8 21 bolt with Stromberg Carb.

Can someone recommend the specs. or even a brand name.

I imagine I need "low flow" and low pressure.
What I found so far low flow:

Output Pressure: 2-3.5 PSI
Flow Rate: 24 GPH

Or

Output Pressure: 2.5-4 PSI
Voltage: 12 Volt
Flow Rate: 30 GPH

This is bolted back by the gas tank of course.

Facet and Airtex have been recommended on here. You would most likely need a pressure regulator too. Facet has some low pressure ones. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catal...facetpumps.php

Been running stock type fuel pump on my stock 36 for 53 years with zero issues. Don’t know why you would want that junk.

That's great. My stock pump always seem to not primed the carb.
So that is why I we put on the electric.
Send me a picture of your stock and any adjustments you know of then. Thanks

Here's something I posted on the H.A.M.B a couple of days ago. I may be of value to some of the new guys on this forum.

"You people should get to know Charlie Schwendler in New York. Charlie rebuilds Ford carburetors and fuel pumps to better than new condition. He runs them in on his test engine, and most folks don't even have to adjust the mixture or idle screws when they install them. He also rebuilds "Load-A-Matic" distributors to the same standard. His best capability is converting SBC distributors for use in 8BA style flathead Fords. He can do 'em all, mechanical advance only, or vacuum over mechanical (with the proper flathead advance curve.). For the visual effect (and they run good, too) my favorite ignition of an 8BA is a Mallory "Flattop". Original flathead units are getting few and far between these days (also expensive), but Charlie can convert one from a Chevrolet to fit (just like the GM distributors). I am having him convert a tach drive SBC Mallory to use in my "Tub" and drive a neat NOS vintage SW mechanical tachometer I found. He's well known in the flathead world, but I guess not to the general Hot Rod folks."
