What fuel pump should I use
I'm putting a 13b (85) in my fb with Dellorto carbs and I was wondering what a good pump/pressure regulator setup would be? BTW money really isn't a problem, I want it done right, but dependability/durability is a major selling point for me

Yeah, I've been checking out all the posts on tuning and it sounds like 2.5 psi is the way to go. Any tips or tricks for tuning the dell?

tuning is going to depend on how much you already know about the carbie, and what your setup is. they are pretty easy to tune. just be patient with it.

The Holley stand alone regulator has worked well for me for many years.
For the street, I still think the Carter pump is best.
I have had a Mallory pump fail on me. I have had the built-in regulator on a Holley red pump fail on me.
The Holley blue pump is only needed for very high power race engines; it is an overkill for low power, low fuel flow requirments. I use a Holley blue pump on my PP race engine.

Cool thanx for all the info! I've got an inch thick stack of printouts to sort through so by the time I get done with all that I should have everything under control.
