Hey everyone, i was wondering what will be required for me to switch to a low pressure fuel pump for carbs. Do i plug off the return line or do i still use it somehow? Anyone have any specific examples of what they did with all of the extra lines after removing their fuel injection system? Thanks

I agree with Andy. I think you are creating unnecessary expenses as compared to the fuel injection. I believe you can get equal and better performance from FI. I did a conversion on Alfa's and got better performance with hot cam and mechanical injection (stock config) several times. Besides you do not have to worry about altitude changes as we do in Flagstaff to California . I have helped several friends over the years making conversion to carbs and most wanted to go back (Porsche and Volkswagen)
Just my thoughts. Steve Hurt |
