Default Fuel Pressure

I know nothing about the T16, but withe flathead ford v8, I believe the fuel pressure is supposed to be 2 1/2 psi. This is solely dictated by the spring in the pump. With higher pressures problems like flooding occur.
Volumne is another issue.
Even us mechanics easily confuse flooding and starvation.
