Anybody know what my Fuel Pressure should be set for 2-94's on a basically stock 49 8ba Flatty? Any info. would appreciated! Thanks
But what about too much? I think my stocker is flooding my dual 97's, it runs good, but fouls plugs pretty quick. I'm gonna put a gage on it tonight and see.
Yes, i'm running an eletric pump. I've got one of those small square ones, i've had it forever, don't know where i got it. I took the stock outfit off when i changed intakes. I'm running a Fenton, with two 94's and i think it's getting too much fuel. I've got a Holley fuel regulator on my firewall, and just realized on the box it says, 4.5-9.0. I tried to adjust it down some, but i don't think i can use it. Does Holley make a smaller one? Or, who does? Thought about by-p***ing the regulator, and running off of the pump. Will i still get too much fuel? Thanks, Wayne
i ran 4 lbs on my dual 94 s with no problems . i heard that was the max you could run before you pushed past the needles. mike
I'm running the same set up. What jets are you running? Tandem linkage or progressive? I've read that around 2.5 to 3lbs fuel pressure is about right for two carbs. If you try measuring the pressure, make sure to use a gauge that reads low pressure accurately (say 0-10) the gauges that go up higher won't be as accurate below 5psi. Flatman
Carquest Part# E84070 Electric Fuel Pump, Low pressure, perfect for a flattie, I know cuz I've run one on 4 different cars. BUT DON'T go to carquest, $AVE Big TIme and order one from Mike at The Hot Rod Company in Madison, WI. Same pump, but cheaper, cuz he cares about you! He is a HAMB ALLIANCE VENDOR and he is golden. He stocks it and I belive he runs one himself. I am here to help, Just another rich kid from Milwaukee, Carl of The Cheaters
Holly also make a 0-4 lb regulator, set it with a gauge while the engine is running. Two pounds should be enough.
I am running one of the little square Mr. Gasket electric fuel pumps on my 8BA flattie with three 97's.......I have the fuel pressure regulator from Speedway Motors that is factory set at 2.7 lbs. It can regulate between 1 and 4 lbs. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/383,,_Low-Pressure-Regulator.html?itemNo=LOW+PRESSURE+REGULATOR Works very well for me..... CB
R: Flathead Fuel Pressure As others have replied 3 lbs. works for me with 3- 94's. Doesn't take much to override the needle jets.
