Can I interest you in acetylene rock lights?

Why use acetylene when you have 19 gallons of gasoline onboard?

The 305 had an on-block mechanical lift pump - the way the Gods intended!![]()
I thought you might want an aux. pump to keep up with the extreme high r.p.m. fuel demand !

What fun! I take it the "auxiliaries" were ordinary oil lamps?

He said kerosene , so yes . I love to see old tech in action , can you imagine what a giant step up this was over a horse and buggy at night !
Correct and I purchased a pump that will supply a minimum of 49.2psi. as well as a minimum of 20gph. The maximum is 150psi and the regulator will componste for these pressures. After lots of research I found a majority of pumps would on provide 44psi MAXIMUM pressure and while your 4.0 will function adequately it will indeed be lacking in performance. Thank you for your reply.
Here's a stupid idea from left field: How about an old fashioned external lift pump? Feasible? Pros? Cons?
Just wondering...
Which one did you buy?would like to see the pressure when installed
On the Hemi, I run an ‘05+ pump in my ‘04 style tank, with just a slight modification to the collar on the pump assembly to get it to fit. The ‘05+ pump makes 59 psi. That pump is still available.
Since the older pumps are no longer available, I wonder what problem 59 psi pumped into an older engine would cause? Any ideas?
Interesting! I still see plenty of Bosch 05+ pumps available. If this carter isnt up to speed I will try this. Are the 05+ for 19 gallon?

Yep on Amazon as was cheaper then all the other sites. Delphi is good brand but after researching like a rabid dog l find that Carter is a solid investment and getting the psi my 4.0 requiers was my main goal. Can actually feel the difference but did new rail, 12 point injectors, used a spacer so could port it and added 62mm throttle body. Still checking my mpg and will check plug color after that.
