Need help getting it to run

[miethead]

Hey everyone i have my 92 rs that i put a carbed 350 in it. Im running into problems with getting some of the misc sensors and wires hooked up and not sure where to start on the fuel issue. the pump is still in the tank i have a fuel pressure regulator and the inline gauge. i also have the mechincal fuel pump. but have no clue which way to go or how to. I need some help beer and pizza to anyone that wants to help figure it out. I need it running asap or have to sell it. everything can hold off on it for no just need to move on its own power. I work sat so maybe thurs fri or sun?

Why are you going to run a mechanical pump? It would be easier to run the intank with a regulator.

These may help.

Ditch the mech pump and run a bypass regulator on your intank unit.

I'm gonna try the intank pump and regulator and that first. never tried any of this so its a good time to learn i guess. Im gonna start on it tomorrow since im at work today and do 24hr shifts. Thanks for the links I'll definetly check them out

gotta be a BYPASS regulator that bleeds excess pressure back through the return line. or you will burn up your fuel pump

If it was a TBI than you should be able to use an elcheapo holley regulator to regulate it down. Cuase TBI only ran 14 psi (like a blue pump) it wont blow past the regulator. Eric L

an average 600cfm carb requires around 4-6psi the rest of the pressure needs to go somewhere and a bypas regulator will bleed off the excess into the return line and back to the tank. otherwise the fuel pump will constantly be working hard to push 14 psi. liquids don't compress.

You can use a standard holley regulator as a return style. I have in the past. You have 2 outlets. 1 goes to the carb, and 1 goes back to the tank. Eric L

thats a bypas regulator...

Its actually meant for a dual feed carb the way holley has it. But I have used it as a bypass style instead. Most BYPASS regulators that are stated as such are much more expensive. Just another way im cheap, but it works, lol. Eric L
