I'm gonna setup dual carbs and would like to use the stock Fuel Pump but I'm trying to figure out how to setup the Pressure Regulators.
My idea is to keep my return line to the gas tank and just have two regulators. One before the carbs and another after. Anyone have a good suggestion? Thanks |

Yep, heard good and bad about the Facet and CB Rotary pumps. My Facet was making about 7-8psi, hence the regulator to neck it down to three. For what it's worth, she ran great on some back roads and also a 20min highway run at up to 85mph.
I understand that the Facets can click and sound loud and that the CBs have a tendency to make you reach for your AAA card and walk home. We had the electric fuel pressure gauge hooked up and got consistent 3psi in conjunction with the Holley regulator during our test drive. Also, once primed and flat four running, I can't hear the pump running. |

Also, once primed and flat four running, I can't hear the pump running. That's a real world scenario. I'm sorting out my six conversion and I bought a CB pump at the beginning of last year. On Wednesday evening (this week) My fuel pump went out about 9 tenths of a mile from my house. I was on a hill otherwise I would have pushed it home. The pump was only used maybe 10-15 times in small intervals to help tune the carbs. I was hoping it was a relay. I pulled both relays out of the headlights and replaced them on the rear circuit board but it was a no go. I can't be to pissed off because it was only $60. But, now I have to pull the gas tank and replace it again. |
