Holley pressure regulator
Does anyone have a picture of mounting a Holley pressure regulator between the pump and carb using copper lines not hose? Thanks

Re: Holley pressure regulator
Here's mine in the frame just after the electric pump but before the mechanical. Still shows how to hook up with metal fittings.

Re: Holley pressure regulator
Thanks Professor, I plan on keeping my mechanical pump. I have an electric pump down where yours is but seldom turn it on. I will have the pressure gauge on the Holley. Do you use the mechanical pump or just electric. Do you have a gauge somewhere? Thanks

Re: Holley pressure regulator
That setup will not regulate the mechanical pump

Re: Holley pressure regulator
Here's one: The electric fuel pump near the tank feeds fuel forward to where it enters the bottom port of the Holley regulator. The fuel then exits the regulator to the carburetor as shown on the left hand fitting in the first photo.. A pressure gauge screws into other port on the regulator. With engine running turn Allen screw to adjust pressure and lock the setting with the hex nut.. This regulator has the "low pressure" internal spring and supplies plenty of fuel to a Holley 390 4 barrel. The lines are 1/4 in. steel (painted black) with "Aeroquip" type fittings that I also painted black after install. Lots of companies make these fittings. Russell comes to mind. Available at speed shops and on-line. Hope this helps. Click on photo to enlarge. Last edited by 19Fordy; 10-05-2013 at 07:30 PM. |
