How much PSI from a stock Mechanical Fuel Pump for a Supercharged 852?

Thank You Very Much; Best Regards.

All I see in the Auburn literature is an adequate supply to the carburetor. We checked a pump on one of the cars and it was around 3 psi.
The real governing factor is if you have too much pressure it will overcome the needle and seat and flooding will occur.
Those pulse or solenoid pumps are available in the under 5 psi range

I've read somewhere that I will be able to run a 12 volts electric pump at 6 volts so it will be easier to find a near perfect match, unless you have a company name and part number that would work just fine for this application. Thanks.

I would be buying a low pressure 6 Volt Fuel Pump. You can run 12 volt pumps on 6 (at least some of them), but it is a crapshoot as to what your results will be as to PSI.

Actually, the previous owner plumbed the gas line (near the tank on the frame rail) with a "T" that is providing both : gas thru the pump to another T at the carb and another gas line bypassing the pump that is still going the normal route through the mechanical pump up to the other T at the carb., as for gasoline quality I've flush all the system and refilled it with higher octane premium grade gaz. Now is it the same mechanical fuel pump use in a normal and a supercharged engine? and what is exactly the manufacturer's recommended PSI requirement?

I have seven Auburns 31-36 6, 8 & S/C I run a pulse pump through the original mechanical pump with a new diaphragm that is not sensitive to alcohol.
If you are interested send me a PM with your number, I'll give you a call.

You should be able to find a six volt solenoid pump thru your parts supply house that puts out around 3psi. If it’s a
Backup to the stock
Pump these will flow thru to the stock pump. Some will not let you draw they them
