Re: Fuel system
Interesting comments. For years I ran just the cheap Holly 110 pump on a low 11 second Qjet stocker. I recently decided to throw a Magnafuel 300 pump in it. I left in the Aeromotive regulator and started to have a problem the odd time with the carb overflowing when turning the pump on. Good thing about having a data recorder is it allows you to sometime easily figure out what’s going on. Recording what was happening when I turned on the fuel pump showed that the carb was seeing a huge hydraulic impact that the regulator could not deal with as it was downstream from it. Solution was to pulse the pump at start up.
Bigger isn’t always better

Re: Fuel system
Chances are, a Mallory Comp 140 and The Volumax Holley Reg, #8 lines, front to back, with low restriction filter(after the pump), and #8 line from 8gallon fuel cell, would feed my E/SA 400 Pontiac? Im trying to decide what to do, for a pump , to get started...Or just spend 60.00 more and get a Magna Fuel Quickstar 275, and be done with it? Thoughts are appreciated...
