Title: Edlebrock 160 electric fuel pump with regulator
Post by: Dave Haller on August 23, 2009, 10:58:50 PM

I have a new electric fuel pump in the roadster with a fuel pressure regulator. The line from the pump feeds into the regulator then runs out and up to the fuel log attaached to the carb with a guage on one end. The regulator has a threaded plug in it for fuel to return to the tank. Should I put a fitting in place of the plug and run a -6 line back to the tank? Carb is a 1050 Dominator, pump is good to 1000 HP.
Thanks,
Dave Haller

Dave if this is the pump (#1792) & regulator (#1727) you heve it is not a bypass type regulator. If you have a different type regulator that is a bypass type the fuel pump you are using does not require a bypass regulator so it would be up to you to bypas or not. I probally woundn't in this application but I don't know enough about your setup. You can see the above items at the Edelbrock web site.

Those are the two I have. Thanks for the input, just wasn't sure if I needed the bypass to be hooked up.
Thanks again,

That regulator should be Edelbrock part number 1727.
It is a returnless regulator, meaning no return line is used. The plugged port would be a pressure gauge port, if it is 1/8 NPT.

Here is a link to the installation instructions that might help. http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/misc/tech_center/install/1000/1727.pdf (http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/misc/tech_center/install/1000/1727.pdf)
