Not only are the pedals horrifying, but the whole installation is just too much for my taste. And the pressure regulator with gauge is completely overkill as fuel pressure with a carb is not critical as long as it's not too high and the float chamber is kept at the correct level. However using an EFI pump for a carb engine, is a bit "over kill"...
Not only that, it will cause massive fuel spillage. Unless you purchase an expensive pressure reduction valve. To compare: An EFI pump supplies fuel at 2 Bar pressure. The carb fuel pump needs to be no more than 0.35 Bar. I've seen this installatin of a Facet pump: Now that we are sharing engine room pictures, here's mine: It's not perfect, but I'm quite satisfied with the pump installation which is neat and simple, I think. @ Oetker - nice box. Simple, and we know how it works - Anders

Messy installation if you ask me.. hoses and wires everywhere...
Sorry Anders, i have to agree abit with krede there..... Some braided hoses, and straping them down i think would be a good improvment. Otherwise, very good jobb! especially on the pump-relay box.

quote Krede --------------- And if you buy a cheap Chinese pump when is it gonna give up the spirit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is not made in China? Empi is a old name in performance car parts. No matter what brand you buy, there is always somewhere a part with a chinese (child) hand in it. We will see if it stands the test of time. Lucky I dont use the car on Saturdays nights. The girls pick me up
