550 cc/min = 0.1453 Gallons. So 0.1453 Gallons * 60 (minutes) = 8.718
Gallons/ hour x 6 (lbs/gallon) = 52 lbs/ hr. Or a 550 cc/min injector would
flow approx 52 lbs of fuel if it flowed wide open for one hour or 52 lbs/hr.
for the NA engines the stock injector is the 460 cc/min (sometimes they
varied a bit around that figure)
460 cc/min = 0.1215191gallons so performing the same calculations = 7.29114
gallons/hr x 6 = 43.75 lbs/hour

The Mustang shops sell a 42.5lb/hr Bosch fuel injector set for the Mustangs. Based on Ed's success
with the 460cc/min injectors, I chose a size as close to his for my n/a 20B. They seem to be a good choice, so far.
