Chris, The pressure will drop some with WFO, but 5 psi is plenty.Where was the pump mounted? In the usual spot on the driver's framerail in front of the tank valve? Not mounted horizontal or anyting?

my only concern is i won't have enough flow when i step up to the "megga moose"
.(just don't tell mel, i still have to talk him into building me one) oh, and the pump is mounted on the framerail.there "black" label pumps are rated for those. what color are they running?
don't know anything about them. i went with holley for the volume they put out. being that i'm fighting fuel delivery issues, i'm trying to eliminate possibilitys.
Usually the only difference between a marine rated pump and a standard one, is that it is hermetically sealed to prevent ignition of gas vapors in an engine room. I'd be willing to bet it is the same dang pump with a different label.

And it's a hell of a lot harder to get a tow out in the middle of a lake/ocean!
I know our starters and such for marine were sealed as Mel said, and triple the price!

Yeah slap "marine" on anything and it seems to double the price...sheesh.
Probably.
Reading this I'm kinda glad I picked up the Carter that I got. Rotary vane pump, and yes it's MADE IN THE USA!
And someday I will actually install it!

thats what i thought as well. so i bought the black label rated for alcohol and methanol. i'm hoping it will work.
If it is indeed the same pump, you could just swap the spring out of a Holley Red, for the one in the Black, and you would be back to your normal Holley Red presure, and you could ditch the external regulator.
