Weber question
I finally got around to installing the Weber, but I
don't have any paperwork on it - the original setup (Carter) has a fuel supply line coming from the fuel pump to a filter. The filter has two lines coming out of it, I assume one is a return to the gas tank. The fuel line that came on the Weber is just a single line from the fuel pump, what should I do with the return line? Reuse the 2-outlet filter?

Re: Weber question
The return line is needed to prevent vapor lock on hot days. It also
gives the fuel pump a bit of relief. Just remember to use the center outlet for the carb and have the return line at the top so gas doesn't syphon back to the tank when the engine is off. You now need to put the computer to sleep or it will just stay in limp home mode.

Re: Weber question
Thanks Mike, I already did the Nutter,
Just had too many lines for this new carb. I've got plenty of vac lines to pull/plug now! Tookie - Denham Springs, LA 88YJ, 4" lift, 33" TSLs, Lock-Rights PosiLock, 4.10s |

Hey, one more question - The Weber came with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, should I use it or just let the return line handle the pressure? I'm thinking I should still use it, I hear the Weber doesn't like higher pressure (although a stock pump is probably not very high) Tookie - Denham Springs, LA 88YJ, 4" lift, 33" TSLs, Lock-Rights PosiLock, 4.10s |
