Has anyone flow checked the typical Holley fuel regulators you see on cars. Seems that all the large lines in and out to the carb are a waste considering a dead head regulator has about a 1/4" orifice with the check ball. Seems the restriction of the inlet lock washer, spring, ball all partially held open to allow fuel flow would be the smallest orifice in the system, other then the actual needle and seat of the fuel bowl. All those large lines really just excess, no?

most fuel systems are overkill, but better safe then sorry, my lebaron ran 8.85 1/4, magnaflow return system pump burned up, put on a 15 year old Holley blue from someone's trailer ran 8.50


all parts are sold as is, all parts are considered used no warranties or returns
paypal/check/money order, shipping is from zip 02891, buyer pays paypal fees 24% IRS 1099A plus 3% of part price, check/money order preferred
site is not monitored 24/7 there might be a delay in response

if your referring to the small holley regulator (other folks market this regulator but under a different vendor name) the flow orifice is, or at least was, .217". real joke.

Check out Fastlane nitrous systems , look under fuel management. He sells a really nice Holley 803 regulator that is internally ported . It’s a nice part and makes sense when you see it

Anyone using an Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator? In an old thread here someone claimed they are the top of the line regulators (at least price wise) with the lowest flow restriction. No clue if that's true or not..

I looked but doesn't make sense to me. They do state it flow 600pph about 97gal/hr. Looks like they ported the outlet but I don't see how that "opens" the inlet quicker? Inlet is held open via diaphragm tip and spring. Pressure rise compresses spring and allows ball to close/throttle inlet.
Just struck me odd how much of a restriction the reg had, with all those big lines in and out.
