edelbrock carb

[mundosk5]

hey just got a edelbrock carb and on my current setup i have 350 chevy with a q jet carb and new fuel pump (mech) and 2 new filters (one inline i installed !!my question is will i have enough fuel pressure with the stock mech fuel pump to simply bolt on my new carb??? or do i have to go buy a new fuel pump and filters???

Should have plenty of fuel pressure unless your pump is worn out.

I'm not a big fan of edelbrocks, so I never ran them much, but I've been told they shouldn't get much more then like 6 PSI fuel pressure or they'll leak. I don't know if that's true or not, maybe someone can confirm.

I run several Edelbrock carbs and ideal on any carb is about 6 lbs. but a stock mechanical pump can put out 8 - 10 lbs. and I don't have any problems at that pressure...

so u have ran with the stock mech fuel pump with no problems???

I've got an edelbrock on my 350 with stock mechanical fuel pump. It runs fine with no problems at all.

Same here. I run two fuel filters. No problems.. Their manual says 4-5psi. If yours is still starving for gas it says you can switch to their larger needle and seat #1466.

I might try swapping the needle and seat to their off-road setup #1465. I use my truck to 4 wheel quite a bit during hunting season

Yeah, stock pumps no problems... Sometimes you can have to much pressure, you need to check your fuel pressure. If it gets to high it can push pass the float and flood the engine with to much fuel...
