What's a good bypass regulator for dual carbs? Thinking I might just stick with the stock fuel pump if it still works since I already have it and will be running a return line. Otherwise, I'll get a Carter. Seems there are a lot of crappy regulators out there so I'd like to make sure I get something reliable.
Thanks. |

I second the CB pump. I agree there are bad regulators but Aeromotive isn't one of those. A low pressure pump is ideal. I removed my PMO setup after acquiring an NOS Bosch pump as used on the early LWB carbureted 911’s and 914-6. Pressure is perfect and it uses an internal return to the tank. Stoddard sells these but they are not cheap. Carter, Holley, Pierburg and others are decent choices. You do get what you pay for in this market. When I went from PMO's to Webers there was a lot of back and forth with Paul Abbott at Performance Oriented who I consider to be the preeminent Weber expert. We discussed regulators, pumps, AFR meters and other minutia. In the end the Bosch pump went in exactly where the CIS pump came out and since the plumbing was already there (I had previously upgraded it) the swap was easy. |
