Default Lets see your fuel regulator set up

So I've been running the sniper system for about a year. I am thinking of going back to carb so i can sell the efi and start getting pieces for an ls swap. I went with an in tank electric fuel pump.(baffled tank) I know I'm going to have to change the pump to a low flow one but i am interested in the hose routing and set up of the regulators. I event been able to see any pictures of the set ups that people have done due to the photo bucket fiasco that ruined many threads. Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!

I don't know if the in tank fuel pump would be classified a high volume pump, definitely a high pressure pump. Mine has a high volume low pressure pump. #8 feed line and a #10 return line. #10 required for return otherwise fuel pumped out of carb vents. T

I don't have a return line. Fuel up from Holley pump into regulator and out to carb.

Run Mallory return line regulators on every engine we build:

Regular Edelbrock 11 psi pump I knock down to 4.5 psi...not exactly what you need but it is a regulator



I have a gauge right on the regulator and one in line after to monitor what the carbs getting

I run an autometer electric gauge in the car to see what the pump is producing and flowing into the regulator


When will you put the sniper up for sale. I've been looking for a used one
