Heeeey,
I have one of those pressure regulators too! Until my mechanic told me what it was I referred to it only as "shiny round thing with dial on it"! So, tell me what pump to get. I looked at pp online catalog and the only thing they had was $235?? I always try to patronize but I don't want to spend that if I don't have to! Other cataologs have rebuilt for approx 140-165.

The pump pictured above looks cool (shiny, like pressure regulator!). I could easily fabricate a bracket out of something to hold it in there, otherwise do I just hook it up and I am all set?

Carter, as well as others makes a small, inline pump available at auto parts stores for cheap. make sure it only puts out 3-5lb pressure or you will need a pressure regulator between the pump and the carbs. the cheap chrome regulators with the twist dial are prone to failure.

Al of this talk about pumps and lines for carbs has me wondering a few things. It looks as if the previous owner for my car - 1970T w/Webers - has put in a aftermarket pump ~3-4 pounds pressure, and re-routed the fuel lines. Most diagrams show two fuel lines: one to the pump and regulator and a second return line to the fuel tank. My car only has the line from the pump to the carbs. connected - No return line. Is there a problem with this configuration?
