The same ones that fit an old 5.0 Mustang. And, Ford doesn't make them. They are Bosch.

We don't know how many times it has been run low on fuel (pump killer, never let it get below 1/4 tank) or how much dirty fuel has been through it. If you just have a head & cam car it may be OK. If I was going to change it I would put a new GM pump back in it. Your probably OK. If fuel pressure doesn't fall off at high RPM, your OK. My 383" ran nines over 135 MPH on a 120,000 mile pump, all stock fuel lines and regulator. A lot of that stuff gets bought for zero gain.
Good luck.

Well the 93 came with 22lb injectors so mine are small. I'm putting a pretty large cam in it plus big heads and 1.6 roller rockers so I'm gonna be moving a lot more air. I can't stick with my 22lb for this set up. I could go to 24 but not much of a difference. I'vetalked to a few people about it said 30lb would be good wwon't be too high duty cycle or whatever
