With 45 DRLAs and a STOCK '73 fuel pump means you are using a pressure 
regulator to keep the FI fuel pump from fire-hosing your carbs.  Not the 
correct answer.  Or is someone keeping a secret from me and the T3 did have 
a late model carb version? :p

45's?!  Uhh!  It would have to go up to 7K to make use of those monster 
throats -- would I be correct in saying it's not a *daily* driver?

My 2.0l engine runs fine to more than 7,000 rpm (tacho only goes to 7,000
rpm) with a factory fuel line and a factory fuel pump with dual '45
dellortos.
