Coolant Pump Selection

Now that I've got my Gisholt running (http://www.hobby-machinist.com/showthread.php/12403-The-GISHOLT-5-is-alive?highlight=Gisholt) I will be spending some time leveling. However, preparatory to making serious shavings I'm going to need to figure out a coolant pump.

As this machine dates to 1936, I believe it's likely to be a mechanically driven oil flood system. Likely powered off of the drive pulleys IMG_0617[1].JPGIMG_0618[1].JPGIMG_0621[1].JPG. The integrated reservoir is under the tailstock. While I'm nostalgic enough to hope for original equipment. That's unlikely. The closest manual I've found (purchased online) is for the next generation, it hasn't been helpful for any coolant pump data.

Does anyone here have opinions or rules of thumb about gpm, psi, submerged or suction? Anybody have a used system they would like to sell? Any suggestions are welcome.

Please.
