Electric Fuel Pumps...

[Mike Rietow]

The car has a Holley return regulator. I'm wondering if this is the hot ticket with an A1000 Aeromotive fuel pump. Also wondering if an Aeromotive pump is designed for continuous duty. This is a street/strip car we plan on driving to the track in Orlando, a couple hundred miles round trip. It has a Holley Blue now, which is loud.

As I remember the diameter of the fuel passage in the old blue Holley regulator is only .224. When I was doing some development work on the first annular 4500 hundreds the Holley engineers told us that the cross over for a second regulator was 580hp. The old blues were very smooth operating regulator’s.

If my memory serves me correctly that is about right on the hole size, but it has a pin that is off the diaphragm to push the ball open. That pin is about .090 in diameter and reduces the area of the .224 opening. On my 2X4 modified cars I drilled out the metal sleeve and installed a larger diameter one for more flow to keep the float levels up.
