carbing a 383
So I just finished my 383 build and I am disapointed in the performace of the tpi intake. I know they dont flow very good and didnt want to put 1k into a intake. So im am putting a 750 vaccum secondary on my car. For the fuel pump I was just going to run a bypass regulator beacuse I only need 7-9 psi. Just making sure this will work and what regulator do you recommend?
Thanks

That carb will work fine on your 383. 300-36 Holley and Eddy rpm work well. May need a drop base air cleaner hood clearance will be tight!
Get specs from the mfr on height measure go from there.
Got a clean 750 DP with electric choke up for grabs....

There is about 9" from the block to hood. Using a carb without a choke housing, a Holley HP or mill the choke off a standard DP, will help a lot.

it depends how big of a Pump you have , and the size of the return line .. i used it with a walbro intank with a factory return line and it worked fine , but once i went up to a huge external pump / fuel cell and a -10 feed , i had to up the return line to a -8 or -6 ..
