The fuel regulator. Rarely am I wrong, but dahubby and I just discussed this. That regulator has been in Emma since we bought her! I swear I don't remember ever seeing it, I had to look at old engine bay pictures before I'd believe him! I said, "Why'd you guys put a regulator on when the fuel pump is self-regulating?" Hehe. Boy did I get told!

And the fuel pump is an Autozone pump, bought 8-99, with a lifetime guarantee.

It is DPO, not DH!!!

Tony, I told ya you could have it. But do you have to have the choke conversion? Someone in the club asked last fall at our car show if they could buy it, I was just going to give it to Stephanie...

Jaybird, not meaning to make Tony upset, I woulden't get rid of the ZS carb setup just yet. A lot of people have had do do a mad scramble to find overpriced "original equipment" setups for thier classics, when thier respective states passed emissions laws requiring thier cars to be absolutly stock.
I know you don't need it now, but the way things are going, who can tell 5 years down the road.
Personally, I would find a dry corner to stuff it away in so you never have to pay 3X over for a new one from the guy that knows how desprate everyone in your state is to get one, just so they can keep thier classic on the road, leagally.

Chuck has already said he didn't want to get rid of it because if we'd ever sell Emma down the road, he's taking the SUs off and putting the ZS back on her. Then he told me to do whatever I wanted with them. I never thought about the emissions aspect of it.

AHA, that's why you're hanging onto 'em Tony.
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Hehe, I could just see me buying my ZS back from Tony in years down the road.

Ummm...Ben (& Chuck) have good points. Lemme think on it.
