Fuel pressure regulators
I'm looking for suggestions on a fuel pressure regulator to replace my antiquated Holley regulator. Mine has to be at least 30 yrs old. It still functions but has got to be likely the biggest bottleneck in my fuel system. I'm looking at 2 port and my fuel lines are -8 in and out. Thanks

Re: Fuel pressure regulators
I know of a few people that took off Malory 140 pumps and regulators and put new "fancy" pumps and regulators on and picked up nothing but an empty wallet.. They look cool with all the fancy colours but showed nothing where it counts.

Re: Fuel pressure regulators
Doug,
magna fuel is great stuff , so is aeromotive. Did have some BG - but it did not last as long - mind you - neither did they. does this mean you are nearing completion?

Re: Fuel pressure regulators
Doug,
I have ran the Malory stuff for quite a while. They work well, and dont break the bank. Much better than the old Holley stuff I had. I also ran a two port with alky on a bracket car, and it flowed plenty... not sure what your motor and fuel needs are, but I went from high dollar Barry Grant (yes, several years ago) to the Malory, and it flowed plenty. I think the others mentioned are all good. I have used Aeromotive also with good luck, but it all comes down to what you want to spend, and your true needs. Good luck, Ken |

Re: Fuel pressure regulators
Hey Mike good to hear from you. The politically correct answer is yes. ALL of the big stuff is done now, just the smaller things that always take me more time than I anticipated and I keep finding more of those little things that need attention. I can say for certain that I always got more done in a shorter period of time when I was working for a living but this retirement thing seems to keep getting in my way. We've been doing a lot of travelling and loving it. I'll keep picking away at it. I don't have a target date although I should as its been far too long.

Re: Fuel pressure regulators
I certainly can`t omplain about my old Holley stuff. I have been running my low 10 second bracket car for 25 years now, the same Holley GPH110 "Blue" pumps and regulators have been on all that time, and still working just fine. Other than replacing one pumps lower plate gasket, and the regulator diagphrams once, they have been trouble free.
I also have a Holley blue pump and regulator on my Mustang Stocker, 2014 will be year # 12, I have not had to touch it.

Re: Fuel pressure regulators
I should add that this is a quadrajet application and volume is my concern. I just can't see my Holley regulator as very efficient. I've been in it a number of times in the past to replace the diaphragm as a service item and always look at it with the big question of how in the world is this thing supposed to flow any volume?

Re: Fuel pressure regulators
I have an Aerospace 4 port on my car. It has worked flawlessly over the past 10-12 seasons.
