430 fuel transfer pump

I think the pumps are like what you would use on a carbureted engine, so 1-3psi type range.

I definitely wouldnt use a gasoline fuel injection pump as those are 40-100 psi!

I was able to make my 430 engine run on the stand with just gravity feed, not sure if that would provide enough fuel under load, but that was basically 0psi and the engine ran fine.
 
The electric pump I bought from Auto Zone for my Steiner Diesel tractor died within a month of installing it. Something about those things that they dont like diesel or something!
