will it work on 46 ford pos. ground as a boost pump-- will it have flow thru it when not powered

Hi-Sorry-but I don't know. I have a 53 Flathead that I used mine on. I bypassed the mechanical pump.

Hello Larry,Your fitment research is invalid due to incomplete information supplied.Thank you.

Yes Larry, that is exactly how I used this pump on a 52 ford. Mounted on frame rail and retained the original mechanical pump on the engine. I felt this would help reduce the potential for vapor lock which was common back in the day. Fuel passes through when pump is not energized just fine.

If the battery is positive ground, ground the positive lead from he pump. I have used similar pumps to fill the carb and then switched the electric off. The electric pumps through the mechanical pump and the mechanical pulls through the electric.

Larry,I put this same pump on a 1923 Mercer that has a Positive ground system and it works just fine.

I am istalling it on a 48 Studebaker with positive ground. A word of caution. read somewhere if it installed in reverse polarity, the pump will run, but not output anything. And if your Ford is six volts, as my Stude, get a six volt pump. don't mess with voltage changes. Tipsfrom other owners tell me it will flow thru if turned off and only the old pump reunning. Guess its real purpose is to overcome vapor lock.Remember those ?

I have it installed on a 39 International also positive ground and it woks we and yes gas flows freely through it it is while not running.

Yes it will work but you will not have the flow control.You simply have to take a pair of needle nose pliers or clamps and carefully pull the piece out of the top of the pump.Unfortunately, the flow valve will not fit on the new pump.

It's not recommended since this pump draws a relatively high current during operation. This is a surprisingly heavy duty air pump. Most 12V power outlets on vehicles are not rated to handle enough current to operate this pump and it will almost certainly blow a fuse if you're lucky. Worst case scenario, it may actually melt your wiring for the power outlet. Plus, it only comes with cable clamps on the power cord for connecting directly to the battery, there is no plug for a power outlet.

I used it to jump my Ford 5.0 V-8 and it worked. I forgot to plug it in to keep charging (you can leave the new ones plugged in all the time) and when i needed it again a month and a half later it didn't have enough power to jump the car. I plugged it in for 4 hours and not only jumped the car, but was able to use it as the battery while we did some repairs to the ignition system. It has plenty of power. There may be smaller amp jump starters that will work, but if they don't you may as well have nothing. This thing works.

This unit Has a Booster Pump and Does Use A Transformer To Run. I Believe It Was 12 VDC That Actually Runs It , That Being Said You May Wire It To Run On A 12 Volt deep Cycle Battery and Recharge It Whenever Needed As Well. The Unit W Pump Is Really Used Where Water Pressure is To Low For The R/O Membrane To Be Efficient IfYour Pressure Is Good You Don't Really Need This Unit.

Yes. I like to use a paddle type flow switch for booster pumps, but a pressure switch will work fine. Setting the high-low and range adjustments can be a little tricky in some situations.

This pump works fine as an inline pressure booster. As far as a pressure shut off, I believe the only factors are; it is not self priming, and if the start up head pressure is to high the pump is unable to perform.

I woul think so. The pump works on suction. It is cheap chinse poorly manufactured, and needs some work to make it functional. The pickup tube needs to be sealed, I used epoxy. The pump housing needs to be air tight, use a torqwrench to tighten the bolts evenly(important - evenly), also the gasket may be defective - I used 100% clear silicone sealant as a replacment gasket. After I applied the above fixes, it worked just fine. Good luck!

As long as your input into the pump is 12v DC you should be fine. That is my educated guess.

If the pump is designed to plug into a standard cigarette lighter plug and works off a standard 12 volt system, it should work great.

Yes I've used it on very many Ford pick up trucks and cars it should work fine just make sure you don't have wideband O2 sensors if you do you would need to get an O2 equalizer for wideband sensors hope I could help thank you have a good day

I'm using it with what I believe is referred to as a two wire pump. It is 240V, switches just the two 240v leads (black and white), has ground screws and has no provision for a third wire. One thing about the low pressure cut out switch on this. It may have already saved my pump. We have some kind of problem developing where the pump is not able to keep up with the flow. The switch tripped a few times then stopped when the condion seemed to have righted itself. The only negative there, not much of one, is that the swich to restart the pump is a little tricky if it trips. You have to find the sweet spot where it engages. In my setup I can here it start to flow so it's not a problem for me. I'm using it with what I believe is referred to as a two wire pump.

I don't know, cause I don't have power steering and I never replace any. If you have in mind some thing like this, buy a good tool, no this pump is too weak, too simple.

Yes, should work as long as you convert to 12 volt. Think the wires were a little over 2 foot long. Boat is in storage now. Note: When wiring pump pay close attention to + and - connections. Follow the directions because if hooked up wrong it will fry the auto switch.

that info likely could be ascertained by looking at a wiring diagram for the many Ford products that use this, such as 94 F series trucks. Otherwise its just plug and play in the proper application.

not familiar with the sump pump system. If it is 12 v dc. I have run almost continuously a 55 lb trolling motor on it for over 4 hours and it still had power.

I used this pump on a 460 Ford engine you have to use the billet brackets and a special billet pulling that fits the offset and the keyway on the pump. you will have to run different lines also..
