What is a good quality reg for 48's? I see a number of people running the Holley.

I've recently seen these regulators and was wondering if anyone has used them? They do look good. Any Experiences?

Specs as per Website: http://www.professional-products.com/fuelregulators.php

This is the ultimate in a compact, affordable fuel pressure regulator. Features billet aluminum construction, stainless mounting bracket, and stainless hardware. Compare to a Holley® 12-804 or similar regulator. Suitable for engines up to 450 hp. Use two units for higher hp applications with dual carburetors.

Hi Craig, I'm using the old cast reg. without no problems, seems to hold the pressure at 3 1/2 lb., but now seeing the new stuff, WOW looks nice. time to upgrade. I would say the new ones should be better. My 2 cents.

Ted

  4.5 to 9 psi   too much pressure.   I didn't read real carefully but it looks like the lowest they have  was 4.5 psi.

Jason, just below the 4 1/2 to 9 is the 2 to 4lb reg., looks good!

Ted

Hi Ted

Ordered mine today going on your 2 cents. ;D

I have it here by the end of the week. I'll post some pics.


Craig

Gotcha Ted  like I said I didn't read real carefully. looks nice

Hey Jason, Ya! looks real nice, Beetlejuice, I think I'm to order one also. Gotta be good. Had no problems with my cast one. Will soon see. Ya post some pics when you install it and a report on how it works also.

Ted

hi all bit of advice required regarding 48 idas ! would you use a regulator if your using CBs 3.1/2 PSI (CARTER) fuel pump ?

mick

I would say no, but maybe call CB to make sure.

Ted

HI Ted


Got my regulator & pump today! ;D

Attached is a couple of pics. 8)


BeetleJuice

How much it set you back dude?

USD 49.99 at Summit

How high is the repuired fuel pressure for the 48 IDAs? Or what is the max. they can handle?

I believe with a Weber needle and seat is 3 1/2lb., with the after market glass needle and seat like JC sell, you can go higher. Maybe call Jack @ JC Ent.

Ted

Hey BeetleJuice, that is real nice. For awhile there I thoght it was a new design from Holly, but still looks cool, compact, I still may order it. as long as it holds 3 1/2lb, which I think it will. I checked out the web-site, the company has some nice reg. should work pretty good! What does the bracket look like?

Ted

Here's some pics of the bracket.

That is, a really nice set-up, billet with stainless. Post some pics of install when you get it on. Thanks BeetleJuice.

Ted

You can go up to 5 lb. with the steel or glas ball needle and seat

Udo

There ya go, thank you Udo for the info.

Thanks for the info!

Cheers

I`ve used the old style Holley with great results for years. Why change? The new one looks to modern/race car to me.

That maybe true, but gotta admit, that new one still looks good and compact, a little shorter. Nothing wrong with a little new school with old school, I say.  ;D Like MSD vs Bosch 010.  ;)

Ted

I had a lot of problems with the old holley regulator.I had to adjust it every weekend and now i want to use a magna fuel that looks much better .
Old things must be changed some times ... ;)

Udo

THis is why I went this way.....It seems there is too many issues creeping in with the holley reg. Besides, my Bug is not really a Cal-Looker so no rules apply! ;D
I also think they look neat.


BeetleJuice

Keep an eye on that regulator as well.... There pretty much the same as a holley, just billet.

Some good info on regulators:

So which ones work well ??

Udo

I run the Carter fuel pumps with Mallory regulators.  I ran the Holley regulators for years but started having trouble with leaking and not having stable pressure. Switched to Mallory in both my cars.   Dave Rhoads
