Best to try an match the pump to a similar application rather than just buying anything. If you have too much flow, and too much pressure then the system won't be able to return the flow.

Sorry to disagree, but I converted a Capri to EEC-IV with and engine and gubbins from a granada (pinto) and used the tank and fuel pump from a 2.8i capri (K-jet) and it ran for 5 years no problems whatsoever. Believe the guy I sold it to still runs it regularly.
