Good morning!
Regarding HPD's, I got fuel system answers from Bill Babcock (below):
Single pickup fuel cell
Two pumps in parallel with outlet check valves (gold colored centrifugal
pumps--I think their Holly but might be carter).
High flow fuel filter from Summit
Cheesy silver regulator with pressure adjustment that you can buy everywhere
(my nice one died)
Three outlet manifold with pressure gauge
3-4 pounds with webers.
Tony Drews, who has a "a single
holley blue top and matched low pressure regulator."
And Glen Efinger :I use the same basic setup on everything, that being
Carter rotary for main pump & usually the same for backup, sometimes
Facet. Dual pickups, Holley regulator & 2 1/2-3 psi. Usually use steel
housing in line filter before regulator. Note that Facet isn't capable
of handling flow requirements @ racing speed of some high speed big-bore
engines so is a "limp home" only backup. Also some of the float needle
valves have restrictive orifice that will limit high speed operation.
The advice that has been posted re bowl orientation is correct.
Uncle Jack kindly gave me his diagnosis and fix ideas, but cunningly
kept his setup to himself! :)
Have a great morning, and thanks again to everyone who responded!
Keep Triumphing,
Susan :)
