Yep.

4psi is just fine.

If its the submersed pumps, the Goss # is GE151.

The Commodore in tank lift pump for VL & VN with the external EFI pump is GE015, and is also able to be used. Both are Low Pressure carby style pumps.

I have used both over the years without any issues.

Grant...thanks for your reply, mine is the 1975 external twin pumps, ages ago i changed it to a single pump with in line shut off solenoids & separate shut off switch for the pump, pump broke down last weekend & replaced with the spare.
I've since ordered a cheap backup spare in Sydney, i went with the 4psi but you know how you doubt yourself even though you know your right, double check is always good......Oldest i go back in Jags is in reproduction of wiring schematics back to MK1 1955.........Tom
