Barely moves the rod and replacing the cam is a b_tch on a flat head. Owner brought with him a Tanks Inc in tank efi pump and regulator kit with fuel return line. Should work and last a long time with the pump submerged in gasoline plus be way more quiet than a regular frame mounted electric pump. I've seen this set up a number of times on race cars but with a Holley high volume external rotary electric pump. Another option for our trucks?

All of those I've seen produce at least 20 and some up to 60 psi. It will be more quiet but if used with a carburetor, I'm afraid anything more than about 5 wouldn't work well. I've been using a frame mounted pump for several years with good luck. The one I have produces about 2.5 psi and that works fine with a 235. The same pump is being sold on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00496RE82/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1I hate to suggest a Chinese-made product other than soy sauce, but I bought the first one of these in 1997 and replaced it in 2018.

I wouldn't hesitate to use that resource.

Using parts from different makes to keep our trucks running is entirely acceptable. I personally own a Ferd but I don’t discuss it here, there are forums for every brand.
