OK, here goes.

Used a Goss GE017, which is listed for our Aussie Falcon V8, and as a "universal", and that word is open to interpretation I believe.

Specs are:

51mm diam, internal HP fuel pump.
2.25lpm @ 200kpa drawing 4.5amps. This is I believe a standard lpm @ kpa indicator.
Open pressure 650kpa drawing 7.5amps.

It took a little thinking to secure the pump in the plastic cradle, but a simple hose clamp did the trick, and made it easy to set the depth (I measured that before taking it apart). The sock took some jiggling to sit in the bowl without crimping, but once the angles were sorted it worked fine, a bit of push and shove does wonders.

The pressure side did not come into my equation, coz that is taken care of by the pressure regulator, I think, with the excess returned to the tank, at least it does on the Jags, not really much different to any EFI car, and at 650kpa there is plenty of reserve, and our Aussie Falcon V8 uses heaps more fuel than my V8 ever will.

My fuel pressure gauge has a leaking braided hose, so next time I go to town I will get a new hose and report back the actual goings on with my engine.

It took a few minutes to settle to a decent idle, but maybe the ECU needed to get it's head around the increased fuel available????. The old pump is real sick, worse than any I have seen in 40+ years.
