According to the 1965 Ford Service Specification manual, fuel pressure for
260 and 289s is 4-6 psi.
I bought a Facet pump from Aircraft Spruce for my HiPo 289 with a 715 Holley
a number of years ago and it works fine.
Pump info copied from my FAX order to Aircraft Spruce:
Facet Interrupter type fuel pump, 4-5PSI, 30GPH, Anti-siphoning valve, p/n
480545

It's been a few years, so I don't know if this is still valid ordering
information and I'm sure the price has gone up from the $70 I paid then.
