fuel delivery question

Prostreet10 · 06-29-2008, 08:23 PM

a lot of you guys no I am going from a munual pump with no return line to an electic pump with a return line. do I need a fuel rail or somthing up here?

this is the line that used to be here

What about a gauge also?

I know some dont like the Holley Blue pump, but this is all I have to work with at this point. $$$'s are a lil low at the moment.

You should be running 1/2" from the tank to the regulator then 3/8" to each carb.

Do I need to run a return? as it looks in the pics, its -08 line all the way up.

No.

if by chance you need to run a return line, scrogindicky has a kit that goes to the filler neck on the tank. you could look at that and fab 1 up real easy.

What will your fuel pressure be?I dont see a fitting for the fuel pressure gauge?Except on that duel line.
Your going to need to know how much fuel pressure you have.Are you planning on running without PSI gauge?

I know, there is an adaptor I can get place off each carb. I just have to find them. Other than that do you see any reason this wont work at least for now?

I had a 6-71 Blown 23 T bucket. It had a blue fuel pump with no return line but 2 Holley's 1/2 to the regulator then 2 3/8 lines to carb. It had 0 problems with fuel delivery... when full throttle was used.

Umm I would suggest a fuel log for those carbs...Those edde's like to surge without em..(damn emulsion tube carbs)...looks like a sweet rig though.

I ran my without a return too, but, I only drove it about 15 miles at the MOST on the street.The pump and the fuel was a little warm.Like Stun says, it will work, but, I dont know how much or how long you plan on having this beech running or driving at a time.

It wont see long journeys or anything. 15-20 mile one way trips is really all. that and a bunch of 1/4 mile blasts is all.

I hope to have it running this weekend. will post video if i get her done.
