GM V6-53 fuel pressure ?

[PUMPERDUDE]

I want to put a fuel pressure gauge on the secondary fuel filter housing. What does the pressure run?What range gauge should I use?Thanks

I'm not quite sure but I was told that at full scream they develop about 50 psi. I also think it is marked on the transfer pump along with the direction.

PumperDude, You can look at 50-70 psi at 1800 rpms, most marine 6v-53's have a standard output fuel pump with 1/4" gears and . 070 restricted orifice, where as 6v-92 have a high output pump with 3/8" gears and a . 080 restricted orifice and run at 50-70 psi. Love those Jimmys... . they can be turned upside down and continue to run
