This low pressure should be enough flow to keep a 5.0 EFI car happy I \nthink. We will see but it should work for our needs and has been used by others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protowrxs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/LowPressurePump.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.protowrxs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/LowPressurePump.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.protowrxs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/LowPressurePump-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.protowrxs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/LowPressurePump-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.protowrxs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/LowPressurePump-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we now know the car obviously has a 1965 grille up front, we picked up \nthis 1966 grille for $100 to have if we want to go back to the original design. \nNot a perfect grille but we are not looking for a perfect setup.
