Looking to fit an electric fuel pump so can anyone advise suitable flow rate / pressure for a standard 3.5 V8 (ex Discovery) running SUs or Strombergs.
Thank you

No problem
The red top clicks away so you know it is working.
Old days it would be points making it click but now it is electronic
The red top is good for power up to about 250 hp so plenty for a 3.5
You may get away with one that flows a lower volume, but if you end up running lean you do big damage to the engine

I'm using a Pierburg rollervane pump which is mounted inline on the crossmember outside the tank on my 4.6 SD1 with Eddy 500.
Supposed to support 340hp, rated at 3.9 - 5.5 psi, delivers 130 litres per hour (34.34GPH), self priming, lift capable, no return, very quiet, weighs 0.5kilo.
I think they're OE on some German cars. Got it from Injectacarb
