 Bill are you pumping through the engine block? It would be nice to know
 the pressure drop in the block.

Yes, I WAS pumping through the block (have taken the setup down), but I did
not have a guage on the inlet, so I don't have the delta-P across the block.

Thanks Bill. BTW Ammunition for those people making claims electric pumps
can pump 37 gallons an hour with less than .1 HP.
