    What size fuel lines do you use and where does it "tee" it off to head back to the tank?

    3/8"...no tee, it's plumbed to a return style regulator.

    So I take it the return in the regulator opens to return fuel to the tank once it reads the pre-set pressure deadhead against the carb?

    Am I on the right track? :dance:

    Frank, do you notice any difference in the noise of the pump or fuel pressure.

    I will be re-plumbing my entire fuel system as I get it all put back together, so if I am going to do this, it needs to be done now.

    Frank, do you have a part number/source for your regulator?

    I am regulating 55# of pressure, it's an intank pump from a late model EFI car.
    it regulates pressure from an EFI pump for carb use.
    you may need a different reg...:yup:

    "Those" was referring to the type of motor. Not the type of induction. ;)
