Re: who sells a good adjustable fpr

Try doing a search for Kirban, that's what I run on my HSR. No problems with it for several years now.

Very impressed with the kirban. I ran a Holley for a few years and would never recommend it after working with quality like kirban. Making adjustments is easy and the set screw is solid too. It's made out of billet aluminum. A few bucks extra but totally worth it. Good luck!

Re: who sells a good adjustable fpr

thanks guys,I have had TPIS suggested to me before and have never heard of Kirban so yeah I'll check that out.I also have run a holley before but it failed to adjust out so I returned it and put my stock one back in but now I need to replace my diaphragm and it's just as much to get an afpr with one as it is just to buy a stock one...Thanks again guys

Re: who sells a good adjustable fpr

Get the diaphragm from South Bay fuel injectors for the stock fpr, They have the best deal I have seen. No need to spend more money on a afpr when your engine doesn't need it.

I've been in your shoes before. I replaced all the above because a was not willing to belive my fuel pump was bad.

AC Delco, I am happy with mine! DO NOT get a friggin Airtex.. I have had my Formula for 2 months and went through 3 Airtex. I got to the point I cut an access door under the carpet I was going through them so fast. Luckily they were free, but got tired of changing them. My Delco has been in a month and as soon as I put it in I noticed an immediate difference! Car fired quicker cold and fuel pressure was much more stable.

Re: who sells a good adjustable fpr

Pulsator dampens the pulsing psi the pump makes. Helps keep the fuel psi more stable.

Re: who sells a good adjustable fpr

Ok so this is no big deal but I was wondering about something.I can get an edelbrock or a Russell fuel pump that comes with the strainer and other stuff for like 30 bucks more than buying the delco and strainer seperate...is there any advantage to that?it says the edelbrock flows at 67gph,idk what the stocker flows at..just a thought
