my engine (460hp+/-)?

Thanks Ron.
From what you're saying, it sounds like 150gph should be more than
enough. The BG280 is probably overkill. I was thinking about using a
regulator with a bypass, so these kits might not be the way to go. It
looks like they come with a basic 2-port regulator.
What about brands?
Hi Matt... It doesn't sound like you have a motor set on KILL, so I
believe a 140gph pump should be plenty.
All we'd used in racing was a holley 'blue' regulator...fuel entered
from the bottom and exited from both sides... one side
went to one bowl, other side to the other bowl. keeps the

more than two in any case. I don't think I could crank the car to get 15

After school today, I removed the fuel pump from
the motor, then took off the back plate so I could inspect the push

I would suggest getting the Holley

With plugs in- the motor still makes compression. Battery wont turn forever
it will run down.
Pull the plugs and then you will turn over easy and fast and make oil
pressure real quick.

A mechanical fuel pump will do just fine. There are times where my 70 will go for a month (or longer) without even being cranked over. Two pumps of the gas and it fires right off every time without fail. My other 70 (yep I got 2 of them) was sitting for almost a year without cranking over
