<VV> Fuel pressure and other fuel hiccups

[Matt Nall]

5-9 psi Now you need a Regulator! The pump has preset spring[s] in it

Try to take it back and buy the other... NAPA always has one.... 
usually $22-$28

Subject: <VV> Fuel pressure and other fuel hiccups



Got back from AutoZone with my new universal electric fuel pump, and 
ironically,
its the nearly the same as the one that came with this car. One 
difference,
however, is the fuel pressure rating. The old one coming off the car 
states
2.5-4.4 psi and the new one states 5.5-9.5 psi.

So I don't know, if one does go electric, and gas is being delivered in 
good
supply, it is hard to word this, like how does the pump know when to 
back off
or too lay in more gas? It seems like once its on, its on?
So, being naive and ignorant, I went ahead with it, this one is l-o-u-d 
compared
to the other one, like someone is knocking a door down :-).

I have gas coming out of the right carb pretty heavily during the 
"priming"
phase. The left carb seems normal. Should I suspect something internal 
in the
right carb is acting up, or something blocked in the left or shall I 
assume the
new electric pump psi is too much for the Corvair? Do I need to located 
a lower
psi model?
