Okay... i've done some searches and I still can't find anything....

As many of you may know... I am swapping a custom 350 and new tranny in place of my V6. I have an Edelbrock 750cfm carb. How the hell do I get fuel to it. Apparently, the in-tank fuel pump won't work with it? Some say it will with a pressure regulator... others recommend against a FPR.... WTF?

I would like to find a route that involves the least amount of wiring modifications and money.

I'm sure this is common, tons of people switch to carbs all the time.
I just want to be done with this! At the momment I'm tired of engines, camaros, transmissions, and cars in general. (Tommorrow I will love my project again). We have a love/hate relationship.

ya, u need a regulator to drop the fuel pressure down to like 6 psi, because carbs don't need hardly any pressure...

Yeah you need the regulator, my "edleJuNk" crap opps im mean carb does not have one and yet and I will be replaceing it with a nice shiny new Holley or demon carb. From what Ive been told by the people who answer the phone at "edleJuNk" their carbs only like about 3-3.5 pounds of fuel pressure after that it just overloads them and causes problems.

Be a man, so you got a little boo boo. Suck it up, just be glad you let you keep the hand. Trust me it will all be worth it when she is complete.
