    Low Buck Garage had exactly the same issue with the 258 fuel pump on a late 1960s Cherokee, he found eventually that the pump with the ‘two towers’ flows around 7psi. That pump you purchased will be triple that

    My first vehicle I bought when I was 18 was a 72 CJ5. 304 V8, 3speed, headers,4 barrel. It had 12" wide tires on 15" wagon wheel rims. It was an absolute beast! Climbed like a goat! But like all Jeeps the body literally rotted off the frame. I had a lot of good times and great memories with that truck.

    Sometimes you have to get a pressure regulator and put it in the line between the pump and carb. They are not that expensive. Normally between 3 to 5 pounds are all you need.

Had almost 8 lbs at first, when he got the Napa pump it was around 4. Softer spring in the Napa pump got him less pressure. And just got to point where you found the problem lol. Funny, he had the same issue in this week's video!

    The noise your hearing is not the throughout bearing, it is the transmission making the noise while in neutral with the clutch out. The throughout bearing is not engaged with the clutch out, only when you push on the clutch in is the throughout bearing engaged, if the throughout bearing was engaged at all times it would wear out very quickly. You can use a fuel pressure regulator to keep the newer fuel pump from flooding the carburetor.
