FYI- Holley fuel pumps
On another subject, we were testing my Holley 80gph 7.5 psi pump and it was pumping at 9 psi. My friend told me that the needle and seat on the Holley would have a hard time closing with that much pressure. I put on a fuel regulator and set it at 5psi, much better now. The only bad news I have is that living in Michigan I don't have very many days left to enjoy my car that is finally dialed in before the snow comes!!!!! :cheers:

Is that the mechanical pump? That's one of the last items I need to buy.

I fi rember right my C3 repair manual says the stock fuel pressure is between 7.5 and 9, but that is with a q jet, also thats quite a bit over the average 4 or 5 psi.

Snow...that's why I have a winter beater-car with traction control and active handling...and a C5 logo! ;)
We didn't get any snow here in WA last year, but lots 2 years ago. I just don't drive when it snows because all the SUVs out here don't understand that 4wd doesn't help you stop or turn.
Although I must admit, I'd like to take my TR-3 out in the snow. The TR-3s were one of the most successful stock rally cars in automotive history...Alpine, Monte Carlo etc...
I don't think my C3 would fair too well though!
