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.php2-Port Regulator 2 to 4 PSI 10662 Blue Anodize 10663 Aluminum Finish 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. (1) 3/8-NPT Inlet Port (2) 3/8-NPT Outlet Ports .220 (7/16") Restriction Craig |

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.

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.

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.

HI Ted Got my regulator & pump today! Attached is a couple of pics. BeetleJuice 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 |

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. Like MSD vs Bosch 010.  Ted |

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! I also think they look neat.

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
