Re: [T3] FI fuel system to carbs

Exactly...What I was thinking was this...

Line runs out of the tank, through the filter then the pump. That heads to 
the back of the car, then lets say here in my example it runs back to the 
tank via the return line. I now tap out of that "loop" with a tee in the 
rear of the car, that "tee" is connected to a good pressure regulator (which 
regulates the pressure down to 3 1/2 psi), and that feeds the carbs.

Or would it be better to just remove the electric pump, and run a mechanical 
pump, that way I dont have fuel racing around a loop when very little of 
that is actually being used.

This is just a hypothecial situation as of right now, im not switching to 
carbs......yet :) That all depends on if I need to get something for the FI 
system thats going to end up costing more than all the stuff to set up dual 
carbs.

Im looking at it from the angle, if I have to buy something thats going to 
cost that much already (lets say a pressure sensor for example) then I might 
as well go with the carbs, and avoid the fact that the wiring harness is 
quite brittle, the TVS is probably quite worn, etc. etc.

I have the injector that I ordered at home, im going to replace that 
tonight. I am hoping that it will cure the ills I have been having with the 
car. Based on my troubleshooting it should...Ive got one cylinder that is 
not firing correctly #1...that injector's spray (if you can call it a spray) 
pattern is lousy...switched that injector to #2 and now #2 doesnt work 
correctly.
