This is a very comprehensive listing of Facet fuel pumps:

One that puts out no more than 3.5 psi would be fine.

not sure witch one to get  40178 or 40366
they are both at 3.5 psi and 15 gph
40178 is good for 150 hp 40366 good for 80hp
i do have à weber 32 36 instead of the solex
thanks again

The only difference appears to be the connectors on the wires. They both have a ring connector for the ground wire but the 40366 has a TYCO (whatever that is) and the 40178 has a bare wire. See the technical info from https://www.facet-purolator.com/tech-information/ below.

Virtually the same pump with only minor differences.

yes it’s the same pump different numbers but what bothered me was that in the description one was rated at 70 hp and the other at 150 hp witch is false
they both have 15 gph and to calculate for fuel pump rating
10 hp per gallon so they are both rated for 150 hp engines
so basically same pump

Am I missing something? When I go to the Pegasus page for 40178 it says, “ For low fuel requirements on engines up to about 80 horsepower…” When I go to the page for 40366 it says, “ For low fuel requirements on engines up to about 80 horsepower…”

Maybe you mis-clicked.  :)
