Fuel System Questions
I needed some information on how to run my fuel system, I converted the car to use a carb. a 750 cfm edelbrock, now, can I use the stock fuel pump and where can I get a fuel pressure regulator that can handle the stock pump and a regulator that will set it at 5 p.s.i.?

Re: Fuel System Questions
You need a fuel pump designed for carburated engines.
I believe most people run an inline low pressure high volume pump when swapping to a carb.

Re: Fuel System Questions
I know a hokey way of doing this, but I won;t say unless you really want to know. Oh yeah...it is REALLY hokey, but it worked as a bandaid fix until my real fuel system arrived.

I wouldn't trust that thing anymore than a dude in a female prison with a handful of pardons. Dude, you are SOOOOOO on the wrong path here. I'm gonna tell you four words that you need to take to heart. Ya ready? BRAKE SPECIFIC FUEL CONSUMPTION Learn It. Live It. Love It.
