What Fuel Pressure?

[68Sprite]

What fuel pressure do SU's like. What is stock fuel pressure on a 1275 Midget or Sprite with SU's.

The book calls for 2.5~3 PSI, but I usually run mine down about 2 or even less.

What kind of pumps are you running on your cars Jeff?

 

[Bugeye58]

A lot of them are stock SU pumps. For the aftermarket stuff, all different kinds, from a Carter, to a low pressure Facet, to a Holley red top. Whatever I had handy, coupled to a Holley low pressure regulator if needed.

Thanks again for the info, should I be worried about flow rate?

If you can fill a 16 oz. container in a minute, you should be fine.
