You did not indicate the HP of the engine as that might effect line sizes.

this will attach to each bowl of the carb and has a fitting for fuel in from
filter and another to coonect the regulator to. Use a bypassing regulator set at
7 lbs..( 9 to 13 psi is way too high or the gage is no good) and connect the
regulator bypass line to the return line in the car.
