1 psi isn't much. How high do you need to go exactly, and will this setup work or do you have a different motor than this one is good for?

That looks like it goes in the factory location.

Why does it have to be a return line set-up and not one of Ben's modded stockers?

[SappySE107]

If its a gen 2, it needs a different setup than that. I can probably find the type that would work for it (return line setup).

ok here it is....i need something that goes low cause i got a carbed 2.8 all stock but someone before me decided to change the engine to one without a mechanical pump. So they threw in a electric pump and blocked off the return line. Now im having issue with fuel milage, black smoke and ruff idle, so id like to regulate the fuel pressure down to the stock level. Its in a 84 2.8 s10 blazer if it matters..phil

[SappySE107]

Yeah, I can't help you with carbed stuff

[cavfiredesire]

well do i have to run a return line or can i get away with not running one? Right now it doesnt have one so i dunno..maybe i can regulate the pressure own enough? phil

just grab a pressure regulator from Holley, i have one on my T/A.. it was like $5 on Ebay

^^^ I agree with Dave, carb FPR's are cheap. Ben is also pretty good at hooking people up.

Yes, a return line would be suggested.

[cavfiredesire]

Thats the problem..isnt 4.5 psi too much for our carbs? thats the lowest one i can find tho in terms of pressure with a return line..phil

[SappySE107]

Hmm, well i though 3-7 was carb range but im about useless when it comes to carbs.

[Superdave]

yah, 3-7 is the normal range for most carbs although my carb knowledge comes from building SBC's..

i run mine at around 6PSI and that's behind a 110 GPH Holley electric pump.

[geoffinbc]

Yea 3 to 7 is perfect. But you do infact need a return line for an electric pump or you will ruin it. Buy any return style regulator you want. I have an Aeromotive regulator 13301 and with the low pressure spring you can go as low as 3 PSI. I sure many others sell similar.

Oh and whoever owned the truck did you a favour because he has upgraded to a newer EFI block. Which also means you proabably have the larger valve heads. You may also have yourself a 3.1L or 3.4L.
