I am installing a 2.0 engine with Weber 40's fitted. This is my first experience with a carbed engine. It came to me with the fuel block/pressure regulator pictured below. It was marketed or made by PMO. It has a broken fuel barb and I need to repair or replace it.
My question: Is this a good system? It is "1 in/4 out", 2 out to carbs, 1 out to gauge, 1 out to tank. The return to the tank regulates the pressure with a hose clamp that restricts the outflow to the tank. Should I fix or replace this or is there a better system. Haven't checked to see what pump I have yet. It has been moved up front. Haven't talked to PMO yet either. Thanks for any advice. Expect more questions in the next week or two as the install proceeds (wiring? breather hoses?). Stay tuned. Attached image(s) |

Call me a nervous nelly but I agree with Rhody's post earlier. I don't think I could trust that setup.
I'd go out and spend $45 and get a facet, mount it like the 75 cars did up front and be happy and safe with a new low pressure pump. (This is how I did my -6 conversion by the way). |
