Max Fuel psi???

[Racing Ray]

Holley does sell high pressure needle and seat units that are good to 11PSI if you are worried. They should be available at any speed shop.

Educate me about the Bypass "after the Carb"...I'm lost on that one.
Thanks I will post a pic this evening.

Been away from carbs a long time. But when I used to run pro gas flat, I did some testing with a Holley 110 pump and a regulator. The regulator caused the actual free flow fuel delivery to be cut down to 55 GPH. Plus the cheap little Holley regulators would stick and flood the engine, usually at the starting line. The bypass system solved the problem and got the fuel delivery back to what we wanted. When we went to injection, we never went back to carbs. I hear ya, that's why I'm going back to these!..

Thanks This is one example of what I ran but there are other type bypasses you can get. The thing is to put the bypass after the carb(s)have been fed not between the pump and the carb!..

After the carb is feed, hows that? I'm not getting the picture here

OK...I'm guessing that little Gold thingy...is pre set to maybe 8 lbs. so as to only alow that much pressure through...correct?
And if so, what is it goes bad= not good!

After the carb is feed, hows that? I'm not getting the picture here The bypass is toward the tank, on the oposite end would be the line directly from the pump. That way you have full pressure to the carbs. Over 8lbs, the bypass will bleed off the extra pressure but the carb will always have full pressure. If you tee in the bypass between the pump and the carb, you may not get full pressure at the carb..

Got it...thanks.

Glad to be of help!..
