Fuel Pump Pressure?

Hi all.
I have a 1987 F-250 460 with carb. This truck has electric fuel pumps in the tank. I thought I'd check my fuel pressure before doing much more in the way of tuning my newer Holley 750. The pressure is 2 PSI, this is with the 5/16" return line. I blocked the return line and have about 4.5 PSI. I was pretty amazed to find this low of pressure and don't find a spec in my shop manual.
Anyone know what the fule pressure should be for thsi particular truck?

Thanks, Tim

I haven't looked it up, but generally speaking. Anything carborated. 3-5 psi.

As long as it doesn't run out of fuel at WOT, I don't guess it would hurt anything. Most mechanical pumps run 4-6PSI with no return.
