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

I am running the old Bosch 009 with points elimination (electronic ignition module) from Hot-Spark.net. While I know that folks constantly complain about this distributor and claim a bad flat-spot off idle, my car does not have this problem. Coming off the line at idle from a red light or stop sign (even up-hill) is NO problem. The GA 2.0 flat four revs quick and smooth, all the way to redline. No hesitation, misses or backfires. My shop spent a lot of time sorting out the car over the past few weeks to include valve adjustments, compression testing (150-155 across all four cylinders), full tune-up (plugs, cap, rotor, wires, dual fuel filters and timing), new fuel system/dual Weber 40 IDF carbs, and we added 40mm velocity stacks from CB Performance before tune/sync as Redline-Weber does not include stacks with their 40 kit. We also did the stainless and new rubber fuel lines, throttle cable and pedal bushings, so the throttle action is smooth and snaps right back to idle with no issues. Also cleaned up the electrical system including new positive and negative battery cables with neg-disconnect switch, all new connectors at the coil, cleaned up the relay board, new voltage regulator + a new Bosch hot-start kit for the hot summer months.

The car will be back home early next week. I will take and post some videos of the car at idle, coming off the line and on the road to share.

Good luck with your project, I know that I made the right choices for my setup!
