I am having problems with my fuel pressure was woundering if anybody has ran into this problem and could help me out. I recently dropped a 350 carbed engine in my 86 and i am running a holley blue pump part# h6194, cant get fuel pressure under 12psi , tryed 2 different regulators 3 port 3/8npt in and out, the numbers on them make me believe they are for blue pump, 1 i bought new was for a blue pump also. I have not deadheaded fuel pressure before regulator so i can tell you what that pressure is yet. if it matters i am running -8an lines with 1/2 aluminum lines. thanks in advance for any help, i need to get this thing on the road soon. Can a fuel pump problem cause this????

 

Which regulators have you tried?

 

first one was procomp junk, only thing chinese in my car other than probably radio, anyways it was advertized to be comparble to a blue pump regulator, after that tryed on my buddy had, looked the same anyways, identical other than saying holley on it, i dont have the part number but i can look if that helps. one i have in there now is a holley 34r 66579 only number i see on it cant find any info on that number but i hope r stands for red, the other thing i might try tomarrow is adjusting it when running, was checking with engine off.

 

yea that helped dident relize car had to be running to set pressure, i was just turning pump on trying to set pressure
