[Vintage-race] Fuel pump and regulator--installed

[Awgertoo at aol.com]

I'd like to thank everyone who gave me suggestions and shared their  positive 
and negative experiences with various pumps, regulators, etc. in  response to 
my question of a few weeks back.  You may remember  that I posted about a 
final negative experience with a FACET cube pump and asked  for input on a 
replacement pump and regulator setup.
 
In the end I installed the Holley Blue pump and Holley low pressure  (1-4 
psi) regulator and pulled larger lines--3/8 versus 5/16--from the cell up  to the 
regulator and through a Y-divider (with fuel pressure gauge mounted  on it), 
then 5/16 up to the HS6's.  After completing plumbing and  wiring today I 
fired it off and adjusted the regulator to 3 psi at fast  idle, then repeatedly 
revved to 5K.  The fuel pressure stayed constant, the  EGT guages looked even 
and there was no overflow from the bowls so I  think I am good to go, or at 
least start the next event.
 
Best--Michael Oritt
