Hey guys. I'm dropping a carb'd motor into my 1990 GTA, but I need to make sure everything is going to work properly.

Ray said he used a Mallory regulator in order to drop the pressure down to resonable levels for the carb but does anyone else recommend using something else? just curious.

The intank pump is a Felpro 255lph so I'm not sure since it's an aftermarket unit (and a very nice one at that) if that's going to complicate things or not.

Let me know if I need to address anything else besides the fuel pressure situation as well.

Thanks.

1990 GTA with the heart of an 1982 Z28

Project starting this weekend. Should be interesting...

 

Just make sure you have a vacuum advance distributor. I did the same thing except it was from Cease Fire Injection. oh yeah and install an inline fuel pressure gauge between the carb and the regulator so you can monitor the pressure to the carb.

oh and have you given any thought to the fuel pump? Like how is it going to get power? I forgot this little tidbit and i installed a switch in the dash that looks like a fog light switch but it is for the fuel pump(ultimate theft deterrent system) with an inline fuse of course.
