Good idea about return line. Only thing is that means I have to drop tank to hook up extra lines. Looks like a lot of undercoating around tank and straps. I looked inside with camera tank looks clean because of that I did not think I would need to drop and clean inside. No fuel inside since 1979. I did search about Bypass Regulators. Summit has one that has one inlet two outlets one return and one for gauge. What pressure electric pump would I need to push fuel back out the return line? Carbs only need about 5 to 6 lbs. Not sure exactly how extra pressure pump I need to use for returns. Also I saw post about Vent line so tank does not build up pressure. WOW a lot to think about. Thanks for input. Ramzilla

You dont need electric pumps unless running fuel injection imo. I am running a fuel cell in the trunk to a Fram canister filter mounted to rear frame then 1/2 aluminum hardline to a Robbmc 550 mechanical pump. It feeds both carbs without issues or regulators or return lines

On the Holley web page they have a rather lengthy Carbureted Fuel System Bypass Regulator write up...

Lots of great info here. For what it's worth, I knew that my Javelin would be sitting for long periods of time, so I installed an electric Carter pump near the tank so I would not have to crank the engine too long. The pump is wired to an "ignition on" source, so I simply turn the key to on for 15-20 seconds to allow fuel to fill the carb, pump the gas twice, and off we go! I also installed a Mallory pre-luber oil pump for the same reason. It also comes on with "key on" but has a self timer that shuts off after some number of seconds, and , yes, I can see the oil pressure come up on the gauge. So, for cold starts, I have both the oil system and the fuel system primed and ready to go. I don't believe Mallory makes this oil pump any longer, but there are some remote oil pumps on the market for turbo applications that might work.

When you get a chance let me know the routing of the oil lines on that pre-luber. And do you need to have check valves installed and where. I have a remote oil filter adapter that I plan on using so it would be easier to plum lines to pre-luber. Thanks in advance.

Looks like my reply didn't post so I'll try again.
I drilled a hole in the oil pan (rear of pan near the bottom) and soldered in a pipe fitting. Then ran hard line along the passenger side pan rail terminated with a short piece of braided hose to the Mallory pump. I believe the kit had some kind of check valve built in to prevent backflow. Coming out of the pump another piece of braided hose to the oil pressure port on the block behind the oil filter. I will try to take a couple of pictures and update this post in the next few days.

Question, which intake are you using. My feeling is a HOT (over heated) intake heat stove is to blame. This issue also makes for other problems on a hot day. On a summer only engine I always recommend the exhaust cross over be blocked. |

offy duel quad intake. Cross over is blocked. My starter isn’t working and I made the mistake of putting the cheap stainless headers on it which I will not reuse. Saving up for some Doug’s headers. Issue is not corrected yet. Working 6 days a week leaves no time for car. If I have to I’ll put an electric fuel pump on it. I’d just rather not have to.

Have an electric pump on the 215 in my Land Rover. The ticktick type. Edelbrock 500 carb on phenolic spacer.
Every time I switch on I hear it ticktick as it refills the carb. On the 327 in my Ambo, I have an electric rotary. Hear it whine as it refills the Holley, then it settles down. Phenolic spacer, crossover closed, but it still does it. Seems this evaporation thing is just the way it is nowadays. Had an electric rotary on the Rolls-Royce as well. Didn't hear it, so I guarantee if you mount it on rubber bobbins, when the car is running you won't hear it. Ivor
