Title: 85 5.0 fuel pump specs
Post by: daminc on February 17, 2017, 02:02:29 PM
Doing my EFI swap, and wondering if the 5.0 cfi pump will handle the EFI system?.. I do have a better pump, but dont want to drop the tank right now if I didnt have to to get it running.

If it's feeding a SO engine it *should* be ok.

Since SEFI only pulses one injector at a time, where the CFI pulses two, seems like it should be good.

It'll start, idle fine and assuming it's in good cond run OK...  You could start and idle the engine on a motorcycle pump...
