Arrow Fuel pressure

I was wondering if anyone one would know what kind of fuel pressure to run with a Nikki RX3 carb on stock 12A....Any idea that would be great Thanks

Start at 3 and adjust from there. The fuel pressure on the 7's is set to 2.5ish I think. I have mine right at 3 and seems to work really good.

I know there are 2 different types of the holley regulator. They have the 5-9 and the 1-4. Might be 1-5 and 5-9. Either way this could be what is holding you up. A for the holley regs, th eonly difference is the spring and maybe something else. You can buy just the parts needed to change it over, or just buy a whole new one. Check to make sure though.
