Hey Mikey, I must of taken your comments wrong. I thought you were one of those guys that think if it's not original it is wrong.
Please forgive my statements. peace Bud

Regulator

Hey guys, I went with an aftermarket high volume fuel pump because after all the time/effort/money that I put into this engine I wasn't going to look at an old ugly fuel pump.
The holley pump that I installed made more pressure than my carb wanted causing it to flood. This was fixed just as arkay said, installing a High quality inline pressure regulator with a return line. I paid $82 for my mallory and am very pleased with it.
Hey Mikey, back off. Not everybody thinks the same way as you. What other people want to do with their money on their cars is their business. One of the great things about the CAC is the attitude of the people. Don't ruin it

Do you need to go through with the use of a regulator if the edelbrock fuel pump is putting out 6psi and you are using an edelbrock carb design for that pump? I wouldn't think you would, I'm just wondering if I should install the regulator incase I need to dial the PSI down.

What do you guys think, I have the return line ran already.

Thanks
Mike

I think you'll be OK. 6 PSI is pretty close to stock output, and don't forget that the Edelbrock carbs are 'copies' of OEM carb designs..
