Mechanical fuel pump?

ok monkeystash you are saying coming out of the regulator run one line to one carb and the other side to the other carb...ok...This is the Dia gram they sent me I told them I was running two carbs this set up is for one BUT i do see what you are saying that I could run a line to each carb coming off the regulator. check this out....

Yes, you would have 1 regulator with 2 -8 outputs. With 2 DP carbs though, you have 4 inlets (2 per carb.) Each -8 off the regulator would have to be split to 2 -6 lines that would run into each carb. You could also buy another brand regulator with 4 outputs so you wouldn't have to branch off. Like this one:

Thanks Guys I won't need a 4 port regulator but only a two outlet -6AN & a halfinch inlet. The plumbing on my carbs are fit for a 06an 3/8 AN fitting.. I will have pictures'

The first pictures are of one of my 600s dp with the side saddle carb plumbing.They are dirty but you can see where the female 3/8s AN would screw right on to te 3/8 flare t..

Higher output engines sometimes require more fuel than a mechanical pump can put out.

It would have to be a 1000 cubic inch high revving 2000hp monster :)

Ford raced 427 FE's in the 60's with mechanical pumps supplying gas to 8k with a mechanical pump.

Cars switched to electric fuel pumps because fuel injection requires higher pressure. Using an electric pump on a carb requires it be regulated down to about 6 lbs
