Anyone know what fuel pressure is needed in a warm 1275.  I'm pricing new Su 
fuel pump at twice the price of another type.  I know I will be criticised 
by some for going after market but I've thrown enough $ at this problem for 
awhile. 

Anyone using a NAPA pump and do I need a regulator? 


Phil - I am running the small Facet mounted under the car in the back, and a 
Holley regulator in the engine compartment. I am running 2.9 psi - the set-up 
seems to be working great. The Facet makes a little noise, but once the 
engine is on and I'm cruising, you don't notice it. (I have a pretty loud 
exhaust). I have a switch to turn the Facet on and off mounted on the dash 
board.
