Guest Anonymous Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 Hello all..........my first post, so I need to thank you all for the great info. on so many subjects. Initial situation: L26 with dual SU's, SM needles. I've been fighting a problem with "running out of fuel" at about 5500 RPM & a little pinging under load at 3500 toward the end of a steep grade (freeway). I checked the mechanical fuel pump out put and it's just at 3.5 psi (low end of spec.). I'm running the mechanical only (took out the stock electric when I first fired the engine up, and have never persued putting it back.) So, with future mods in mind (modded L28 w/Tripple Dellortos), I've decided on putting in an electric pump. Looks like the Carter 7 psi is a good & quiet one (& low $), but I can't seem to find a regulator that goes below 4.5 psi. Eveerything I've read here says I want to be in the 3.5 range, especially when I go with the tripples. Regulator suggestions, complete with part number & source, would be appreciated.

Mike C Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 I have the slightly smaller Carter 5 psi street pump. I mounted it on one of the rear suspension verticals. I bought a CP products chrome regulator. It goes from 1-5 psi. A lot of other companies including Mr. Gasket have a similar one ~$25. Give Summit/Jegs a call and tell them what you're looking for. I upgraded to this for my 2.8l motor and triple Del'Lortos that's on the stand in the shop waiting for me to have time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
