In other words, delivery from the fuel pump is measured by its huge volume and not pressure. It's the distributor at the front that generates the high pressure needed for fuel injector operation.

If I remember rightly, the pump should be generating "something like" 14psi.
In comparision, the mechanical pumps for cars with carbs do about 5-7psi. The D-jet EFI system is calibrated to 32psi and the CIS systems work at or about 75-82psi.

DANGER: At all times working with fuel under pressure, there is a very real chance that you can inject it into your skin. This is a VERY bad thing to do. Also fuel coming out of an injector is that much more flammible thanks to atomization. Try hard not to burn down your garage, immolate the car or roast you and yours.
