I tried running the Meziere 42 gpm electric on my 565 that I just got going. Temps were cool at idle but would creep up pretty quick at highway speeds. Called Meziere and they recommended either their remote 55 gpm pump or go back to the belt driven pump. Replaced with an Edelbrock pump I had sitting on the shelf and runs fine now. 8" crank pulley and 6" water pump pulley. Lesson learned - electric pumps can't keep up at prolonged highway rpm's.
