Reply to "Fuel pump - Electric vs Manual"

We are just using the high volume mechanical "Mr Gasket" fuel pump - no need for an electric fuel pump.
The fuel regulator keeps the fuel pressure feeding the carburator constant. Before as you would run up the RPMs the fuel presure would blow through the internal workings of my carburator which would cause it to run rich (see Bench Tech Racing Specialist's Guru..HDJammer for more on the internal workings). The "fuel regulator kit" which feeds both sides of the carburator comes mounted on a carburator plate which fits between the manifold and my Holly HP750. I am also using a Wilson 2" spacer to lift the carburator, regulator and fuel lines up away from all the heat that builds up between the intake manifold and the high valve covers. I am also using insulation tubes around the braided fuel lines to keep the fuel temperature as low as possible. I also have 180 degree headers which adds to the heat build up in my engine compartment . We made these modifications this month and what a difference!!
