50 Ford Custom

Thanks for all of the great feedback. I will put a mechanical pump back on the car. Thanks again.

I have a 1950 Ford Custom with a v-8. The mechanical fuel pump had been removed and replaced by a simple diaphragm type electric fuel pump by the previous owner. There is a fuel pressure regulator in the system. That pump is the only fuel source and has proven to be problematic. I purchased a rotary vane pump from Precision model E-16088 to replace it. Now that I have the pump and am preparing to install it I am concerned about the pumps minimum flow rate of 25 gph. I'm also installing an oil pressure safety switch at the same time. Do I need to be concerned with the minimum flow rate?
