    Question Fuel Pressure Question......

     



    Is there anyone out there who knows, if the fuel pressure for holly 94's and stromberg 97 is the same as regular carb's. holly, afb, carters, etc. isn't it around 7-14 pounds. I thought it was less for the 94's and 97's. But I just cant remember, I guess it's been too much of the gas fumes. Thanks for your help......

    My guess since they are old carbs. would be more like the 3 to 6 psi range.?
    One of those "geezerz'' will have the right answer here shortly. I'm tooo young to remember.

    Around 7+psi you'll start blowing the needle out of the seat in those regular carbs

    Here ya go . . .

     



    Fuel pressure to Stromberg 97's should be a minimum of 1.5 psi and a maximum of 3.5 psi. A pressure regulator is a good idea on Strombergs.

    Thanx a bunch for the info. I'm getting ready to run a 3x2 setup with a set of 94's and a electric fuel pump, so I guess I better get that fuel pressure regulator for it.
