AutoSport said: A Carter M6588 is a great choice for your application and what Ford used. How many HP do you think that pump can support? Click to expand...

#3 · Oct 11, 2014 No I'm not running 1850 cfm my carb is a Holley with the part number being 1850- #4 · Oct 11, 2014 that is the same pump I use on mine and 600hp is available and still maintains 6psi at WOT The pump is listed as a 140 gallons per hour it can move and gas weighs around 7 lbs per gallon so around 980 lbs of gas THAT IS A LOT just use it #5 · Oct 12, 2014 Just go to Jegs or Summit and do a search. You can easily find one that supports more HP if you want. #6 · Oct 12, 2014 thanks for the help. I ordered the Carter M6588 pump. im no where around the limits of that pump Insert Quotes Post Reply
