Fuel Pressure at Carb?

[Ol Yeller]

I apologize in advance and know this topic has probably already been covered, but my question is: Is 4 psi. of gas at the intake of a Holly 600 double pumper enough? My Holly Blue is rated at about 13 psi. at the outlet but after traveling up 4 or 5 feet and going through a fuel regulator, it's 4 psi at the carb. If it's not enough, is it fairly straightforward to adjust the regulator or am I opening a can of worms?

Recommended fuel pressure should be set at 7-1/2 psi maximum; 5 psi minimum. Fuel pressures above 7-1/2 psi can
create severe fuel control problems and are not recommended.

I pulled this off of the Holley website on the 1st page under general information. Hope you get her runnin good!

Its pretty straightforward just adjust regulator till you have around 7psi at carb.

Thanks for the advice. I needed a little hand holding because lately I've been through fuel pump hell. But the regulator adjusted just as advertised and I put her to 6.5 psi. Actually the engine ran good at 4 before but if it should be between 6 and 7, then that's where I'll keep her. Thanks again.

I set it a little low to stay away from the 7.5 max.

I burnt up an O-360. To much fuel pressure at the carb, pump wouldn't shut off...
It belched and away we went !!
Pressure was to high for carb.
It is important...

Ya I have mine set at 6.5 lbs. also need to check bowls and needle a d sets make sure there working properly in some extreme cases of to much fuel pressure your needle and seat will bleed by.

6 to7 lbs and you should be good I went to the similar problem at 1 time 7lbs is good. Don't go higher
