- Hi Stu, I found a Wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testing_and_performance_of_IC_engines that suggests most engines burn about HP/10 gallons of fuel per hour. That would make the stock fuel pum

- Stu If the Facet fuel pump you have is working just fine, why are you replacing it or are you just looking for a spare? I have a Puralator cube fuel pump, made by Facet I believe, in my Tiger right n

- Pressure gauges in the USA are usually PSI (pounds /square inch) or inHg (inches of mercury). Vacuum gauges are usually graduated in -30 to 0 inHg. The float valves in Holly carburetors start leaking

- According to the 1965 Ford Service Specification manual, fuel pressure for 260 and 289s is 4-6 psi. I bought a Facet pump from Aircraft Spruce for my HiPo 289 with a 715 Holley a number of years ago

- Thanks. To be clear, my comments below on finding psi were for the Tiger SU and about people posting to this list in the archives. My SU is mounted in the stock location. I did find it odd though the

- Jay I seem to remember a rubber isolator strip that wrapped around the curved mounting bracket and held the pump well. Ron Fraser --Original Message-- From: tigers-bounces@autox.team.net [mailto:tige
