    eerrmm... the carb will only need 3~5psi pressure.

    you havent found that the pump is overpowering the float and over filling the fuel bowl??

    that poor little carby will be getting OWNED by that fuel pump.

    btw how does that 4ac go? sounds fairly intense.

    are you still running the stocko carby?

    Yeah man, a VL EFI pump is going to cause you alot of trouble.

    You'll want an electric pump for a carby (aftermarket example is a holley pump) / lift only pump. as mentioned before 3-4psi is the most that's required.
    You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?

    haha in all seriousness

    the std fuelpump couldn't build enough air pressure to suck up the petrol from empty lines just buy cranking with the starter motor...

    so i used a spare vl fuel pump to suck the petrol up the massive 6mm copper lines
    now starts 1st crank its sounds so sexy with out any extractors
    ill put a video up
