J.C. Whitney lists 2 electric pumps and one of them is as stated in their 
cataloge for "foreign" cars and it is listed as 1 to 4 pounds, I've not read 
about cars that use 15 17 pounds of pressure, the mechanical pump is only 
perfectly matched to DCOEs if a higher lobed cam is installed, certainly not 
with a stock engine, two mechanical pumps in 4 years, one electric pump in 
10 years (over 80,000 miles)  "FT"
