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.

Running a high pressure pump and a regulator seems like added complication with extra lines that could leak or cause a fire.



I guess every FI car in the world needs to be scrapped because they're all ticking time bombs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)


Fuel injected cars require high pressure, carbed cars obviously do not. Just seems like a recipe for a problem to try to make a 20+ psi pump put out 3.5 psi. Doesn't take much pressure to overcome the needle and seat in a carburetor.... that and you can buy a carb pump for less than $100. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
