Electric fuel pump

G`day guys
I`m looking for advice on an electric fuel pump. What sort of pressure and flow rates would be needed for a worked head with a pair of twin 45 dcoe`s?
Cheers all

    Hey Troppo,
    Most pumps should pump enough fuel but they like low pressure 3 - 4psi, a pressure regulator is a good idea to get them spot on.

    Webers don't like  a lot of fuel pressure but want reliable flow to maintain consistent fuel levels .  2.5 to 3 psi is ideal. Plenty of non fuel injected type pumps available. Any of the larger facets, carter, holley would do. Nothing wrong with a Facet 'red top'.  All would need a fuel pressure regulator.

    OK so a pressure regulator it is. What are your thoughts on this one

    Not familiar with these pumps, flow on the lower pressure one looks fine IMO but I would still run a regulator set to 2.5 or 3psi max. Ideally mount the regulator in the engine bay.
