I ran the stock fuel pump with my delorto. Had a street port 13B. No problems.

The stock pump couldn't keep up with the dual webers, but did fine with the delorto.

An RX4 stock pump is perfect for the Dell'orto.

i used my Dell'Orto with stock pump on two of my cars (my old '83 and my present '84) with mixed results. on my '83 it ran fine, on my '84 it didn't - so i switched to the setup i have now (Carter with Holley regulator).

just set up your car with the stock pump and see if it works, if it doesn't then go to Plan B (whatever your Plan B is)

stock fuel pump worked until 3rd gear high rpms, then it couldn't keep up. I use a holley blue 110gph fuel pump. if you won't ever take it on a road coarse track then a smaller holley red would be cheaper.
