Help With Fuel System

i have a 91 camaro rs, it had a 305 with TBI, i have now put a carb on it and the only problem now is how much psi i need to run, i would like to know if i can put a reg on the line with out blowing a fuel line or messing up my fuel pump. friends say i need to drop the tank and put one on my car off of a carb camaro. any ideas or comments from people that have done this before would be helpful.

Welcome aboard.

5-7 psi is the "typical" carb pressure range.

Look though posts here,you'll find several people who have used the TBI in-tank electric pump successfully. You should use a 3-port regulator that uses a return line, rather than a simple shut-off-type two-port regulator. The good news is that all 3rd gens had a return line (unless you removed yours in the carb swap).
