Re: 1949 Custom Eight Fuel Pressure
Posted by Todd W. White On 2024/5/11 21:30:20
I just installed a freshly rebuilt fuel pump on my '49 with a 288. It was pumping out 5-6 psi. Took it for a drive and it stalled out after a bit (still trying to determine why - been chasing it), so I installed an inline regulator and dialed it back to 3-3.5 psi and drove it again. Same problem. Frustrating! 
Monday, I am going to set up a direct feed to the pump from a clean can of gas, get it running, and try again. If the problem goes away, it MUST be somewhere in the pickup tube in the tank or in the long steel back-to-front fuel line.
