1959 Other Chevrolet Models 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

Sorry, chose a diferent model.
This is a 1950 Studebaker Champion, manual transmission.
How can I install a electric pump (6 volts - 6.5 lbs pressure) to eliminate the mechanical pump?
is it possible to get good performance with the electric pump only?
Do you have any diagram to do it properly?
thanks in advance

I know ac delco makes a electric pump for it but its 12v. I dont know if 6 volts will keep up the pressure and volume you need. Theres only one way to tell, purchase the electric pump, its short money and connect it to the 6 volt battery and check the pressure output from it. Its quie possible it will be enough to run the car
