Mechanical fuel pump with correct pressure.
I know this has been hashed over before. I am really getting sick of this. Replaced the fuel pump (old one died... zero pressure) on the 70 LT-1 Corvette. Not particularly easy to replace, as there is less room than on a first gen Camaro or an old Chevelle. Started it up and fuel is pouring out the carb. Car had been running fine on a little temorary electric pump.
WHO, IF ANYONE makes a Chevy mechanical fuel pump with the correct pressure.
Just installed a new Spectra Premium that was advertised as "100% factory tested & approved. Factory specified pressure and flow."
Absolute BS. Put my mechanical pressure tester on it, and it pegged the needle just cranking. Gauge only goes to 10 psi, but the needle swept right by that number.
Does anyone make a pump that only puts out 4 - 6 psi?
