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 bought an engine that is all set up with carbs on it. I just want to see if the engine even works. If it works and i dont like the carbs, ill put all my FI stuff back on. I have a LP fuel pump so i dont have any expenses there. Also, when i bought my car, my high pressure fuel pump for the fuel injection was running off of the coil. I think my relay board has some issues.

QUOTE(brandomc @ Dec 15 2009, 11:23 AM)  I bought an engine that is all set up with carbs on it. Before you get too distant from the seller, find out what cam is in the engine. The cam may prevent you from going back to FI. Back to your original carb question, I would think there is a pressure regulator, like in the FI system, for the carb system. |
