Will this flow enough for a 12AT?

Carotor® Gerotor design
P60504DP Carter in Line Fuel Pump.
"With a free flow of 72 gph and 4-7 psi of fuel pressure, these Carter electric fuel pumps will keep up with any carburetor."

Will this work with a DRAW through setup? My understanding is I don't need an extremely powerful pump like I currently have. 4-7psi should be plenty for my setup right?

From what I have read on here, a normal EFI-type pump will work with a draw-through setup, as draw through doesn't need as much fuel pressure as blow through. Not sure if thats helpful or not.

From my understanding, actually most carb pumps will suffice with a drawthrough setup. While a standard EFI pump will run a blowthrough.

Ah ok that makes sense. Carbs don't need that much pressure I know that.

It'll work just fine as long as it can be regulated to the correct pressure for your carb.
