Most expensive, least helpful and useless advice

Yes, an overkill fuel system. I had my eye on a $135 Holley Blue pump and regulator for my 302 ford with a Holley 4150 and posted a question to this forum. I let the guys talk me into a MagnaFuel 275 at $450 with a built in filter. It pumps out so much gas that the regulator is turned way down to keep from flooding the engine. I had the floats set wrong and gas flooded out of the carb like a fountain and started a pretty good fire. All is well but I toasted some wire.

Good investments for your stocker:

Painless Extreme Duty wire under the hood
Fire extinguisher next to the seat
