305 TBI-400 carb engine & carb swap
Hi Guys,
After some searching, there seems to SOMETIMES, be issues using a return style fuel pressure reg with even the lower pressure TBI (not TPI) in-tank fuel pump when converting to carb.
I would be using a vac sec QFT annular discharge 750 on a mild 400 sbc, but some people with ex-TBI engines can not get there fuel press down to 5-6 lbs.
Any way to check the feasibility of a press reg install beforehand?
It's a '88 IROC 5 speed vert that's criminally slow, but operates perfectly.
Thanks
