Electric 6 volt Carter with a bypass....no regulator (preset at 2-4 lbs) not pretty but it had worked for three years

Here's my Airtex 8902 installation. Very simple and works great (other than the pressure regulator I had to add for continuous operation.)

Great pic Prof! Thank you.

Old Henry, would you happen to have a picture of your fuel regulator installation? I would sure like to see it if you do. I'm thinking of following your footsteps.

I went under the car to get a picture but it wasn't pretty. The pressure regulator is still packed in mud from my last "off road" trip. I'll get it cleaned up and get a good picture after we get back from Canada in a week. Sorry for the delay.

No hurry at all. I very much appreciate it. I have a '47 super deluxe four door that has not been run for quite a few years. I have been replacing master cylinder, wheel cylinders, grease seals and brake lines. Now I'm getting ready to remove the gas tank and lines for replacement and the radiator to have it rodded out. The radiator looks to be in good condition. I thought now would be a good time to address any vapor lock issues that might jump out there in the future since the current gas lines are going by the wayside.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get under my car.
Got enough mud off of the Holley pressure regulator for you to see how it's hooked up.
The flow goes up from the bottom so it needs an elbow as shown. The outlet is to the side so a compression fitting into an adaptor to hook that up.

Thank you Professor. I really appreciate it. Do you remember what the Holley model number is for this regulator?

It's just the one I bought from Mac's here: http://macsautoparts.com/early-v8-fo...0R3CHL1140518/
