I rigged up a very simple test stand using my vice, piping, oil supply sump, existing oil pump and discharge pressure gauge. I made a mandrel to drive the oil pump gear using my 1/2" drill. The drill turns about 1725 rpm and at this speed the pump was putting out 65 lbs. As I closed the discharge valve a little (should not totally block the discharge of a positive displacement pump) it went up to 80 lbs. Is there any reason to suspect that this pump will not work in the car? Thanks and have a good day!
