NEED FUEL SYSTEM ADVISE!

5.0-man · 03-10-2001, 12:10 PM

Before Harwood stopped making fuel cells, I invested in one and bought a 12 gallon that fits in the trunk. So my stock tank is coming off and I plan to run -8an braided line from the tank to the carb and probably a smaller return line to the fuel cell. I do drive this car on the street. I'm not sure which pump is good. I heard Holleys have been redesigned. I was thinking on the 140gph (black) one. I also don't know what kinda filter will not restrict fuel flow. How about the in-line type like that blue Paxton? Or is the canister type like Mallory or Barry Grant better?? I'm not buying cheap stuff or "rigging" this thing up, but I don't need to go overboard with it either. I want a setup that will not have me chasing gremlins like the fuel injected setup did. Also, to run a return line back to the fuel cell, do I need a 2 or 3 port regulator? All input will be appreciated! Five0 you must be on here alot, you replied to more than one of my posts. Thanks alot! I never wanted to here about carbs before, but this thing has had me in circles for about a year now so I decided...what the hell, It's worth a try! I'll switch this thing over to a carb setup and see what it does. My worst fear is that it will slow down. My injected setup was ALWAYS running rich, hard to start, etc... So I think the carb would be better for me. 5.0
