Hello, just picked up this old Champion compressor and need some help identifying the pump hp. The briggs is a 1977 8 hp and so far found out its a champion cw1 pump. found a post here of a similar one that's a 2 or 3 hp pump. If it's a 2 or 3 hp would the 8 hp briggs be overkill?

Thanks you. Will do!

Thank you for the the info.
