fuel pressure
If trying to figure out if when the engine on my car was switch to a carbureted if the person switching it adjusted the fuel pressure. Would the car run at all if the fuel pressure was too high? Or where are possible places they would have put the new fuel pump where i cant see it?

The typical problem with excessive fuel pressure is flooding at low demand (such as idle) when the pressure overwhelms the inlet needle & seat.
Is there a regulator you can see? Probably not, but had to ask.
Back by the tank above the axle is the most likely place for an aftermarket pump, if there isn't one on the engine.

Hey, I got a 350 .030 over, w/ Weiand super charger... never worked on carbs before, but what kind of preassure should i be looking for?
Pump on and not running = 1.2lbs
Car idleing = 3lbs
this seems WAAAAY low to me...
