Re: 1955 Ford Club Sedan Refresh Blog
HRR, in your picture showing the carb and the fuel pressure regulator, I notice you
have the regulator with the round dial that you turn to the pressure number you want.
The chrome regulator with the round dial, that goes from 1# to 6# pressure, is JUNK,
throw it in the garbage as fast as you can.
When the diaphragm cracked in mine, it sprayed gas all over the place. Luckily
for me, I was just looking at the engine idling, when it started spraying gas out of the
regulator. If I would have been driving down the road, it would have been disastrous.
Summit told me that a new diaphragm for those was NOT available, (I'm glad they wern't)
so I got a small (low pressure 1-4 #) Holley regulator, which has a replaceable diaphragm.
I placed a small threaded tube, (10/32 thread) into the weep hole, and a small hose
from the tube, pointed away from the engine, towards the ground, so incase of a leaky
diaphragm in the future, it won't spray gas all over the place.
