Just put a new edelbrock 1405 on my 67 GTO. It had a old Carter on it and thought about rebuilding. After seeing a couple of videos including yours, I've decided to get a guage and a regulator because you have helped me figure out the host of my problems. Surging, hi idle. Dad was constantly adjusting the idle and or the timing. When he was done with the car, I aquired it and went with electronic ignition, new plugs and plug wires. And guess what after a couple of days trying to dial it in, I still have some surging. Not as bad though. I even switched the vacuum advance from port to exhaust. It does run better on exhaust. You have helped to figure out why. Just seen the video's and will check it out just as soon as I can sneak into the garage.

You’re working through the tuning process! Sometimes it’s a little trial and error, sometimes you can make more informed decisions. Having a regulator is a great decision. If you have a very aggressive cam profile, switching from timed to full manifold vacuum is a good solution. Or it just means you’re masking another issue. Not enough timing, vacuum leak. Keep working though it and you’ll get it dialed in!

Its dual fed and the current pressure gauge that is on the dual feed fuel log/line is not working. So I want to replace that. Is there any specific fuel pump, pressure regulator, filter, and dual feed fuel line/log with a gauge that you would recommend. My knowledge on these old cars and Carbs is little to none but I am trying to learn as certain things need done. I don't mind spending money on quality parts.

Two things. Why didn’t we need regulators back then? We did! They just weren’t readily available and we hadn’t learned that having that adjustment to pressure directly affects flow. Had we known, and had we had more options in pumps, the adjustability would have gotten much better. Today, with the poor quality fuels and more volume needed, having a regulator allows the user to make the decisions. Not some analog non adjustable system. But let’s face it. Go watch a 100 videos of people putting on new carburetors. Likely less than 10% will actually TUNE it.

Really appreciate your knowledge and you showing how everything works.

Lots of factors there. Nothing wrong with your set up, but it’s easy to test by going regulator last right before the carb and run the return line back to the tank from it. See if that corrects your pressure issue. I haven’t used that regulator before but it’s ok. Easy way to determine which side they want you to use is to hook it up both ways. I’m assuming your bleed side goes to the carburetor, but try it both ways and see which one works best.

I was hoping you could help as I can’t seem to find an answer for this anywhere. I have a 78 power wagon with a 440 and a 1806 edelbrock carb. I live in California so smog tests are an issue. That means I have to run the charcoal canister to pass smog. The problem is, the fuel return line is used by the charcoal canister, and it’s fed by the vent at the top of the carb (which I have to drill/tap to install). Am I correct in assuming a “dead head” style regulator is the correct choice? Because I don’t see how I can run a return style with the charcoal canister. My other question is in regard to location. Because this is a big block Mopar, the distributor and the coil are located right in the way of where I would want to mount the regulator. So, would it be ok to mount the regulator on the fender well and plumb a line to the carb? FYI; I’m thinking of mounting it on the passenger side fender well because it’s the only place that allows me to use the shortest hose length for all lines needed; Being the lines from the manual pump to the regulator and then out to the carb. I’m trying to avoid pressure loss due to hose length as this is a low pressure system. And to be honest, I don’t even know if that’s an issue I’m likely to face. Just trying to cover all my bases.

Hi there, I have a fundamental question here. I installed a fuel pump which is regulated to 7psi and there is no need for a regulator so far. BUT I installed a regualtor anyway because I wanted that return line. Now I'm seriously wondering if the regualtor ever allows gas to flow back because the pump actually doesn't produce enough psi. I'm somehow making a mistake here. The return line isn't always open, is it. This only opens at a certain pressure, which my supply will probably never experience, right?

@MuscleCarSolutions

Ай бұрын

That’s a fallacy. Controlling what the carburetor sees for flow and psi are extremely critical. A regulator is always needed. Why? So YOU have control and can make changes when the engine is asking for them. Pumps produce FLOW. Psi is an after effect of flow. The return line takes when the regulator gives it. The question that needs to be asked here is, what is your pump rated in flow? GPH or LPH and what is that number?

@@MuscleCarSolutions Thank you very much for the link 👌 What I also wonder is whether a regulator is really necessary for my 350 performer. Or just nice to have.

Can you run a bypass regulator with a mechanical fuel pump

I wouldn’t advise it. Mechanical pumps aren’t meant to operate like that. Switch to an electric pump.

You need educated on fuel pressure regulators in real world applications. Recommending these is way outside you’re element.

3.5 is a little low for pressure. You’ll know if it’s not enough if you’re in more aggressive driving and it falls flat on it face. Most of the time I don’t go less that 4.5 for the street driven stuff. All depends on how you’re driving.
