Hey fellas, i did get my 363 stroker running (88 that was a 2.9L)....new in tank (low pressure unit), new rail mounted high psi pump....that all comes to a head at a Holley 12-845 fuel pressure regulator. Unfortunately, it will only bring the pressure down to around 10ish PSI...the Quick Fuel carb i am running calls for 5.5 psi...so, as a result, she runs, but i am getting SERIOUS fuel dilution in the oil. Serious as in i drained the oil and WAY more was in the drain pan than is supposed to be. (I am using Duff heavy duty mounts...they are bloc¹king the bung my engine builder welded into the pan for a dipstick....my luck)...in any case i believe I have 2 options...1) increase return line size...i believe it may be deadheading at this point and constricting flow, increasing fuel pressure....but...what do i do when i get to the tank, the quick-connect fittings on the fuel tank are a specific size...so increasing line size wont matter because once the fuel gets to the tank fittings, there is another restriction
.....2) Delete the high pressure frame mounted pump and just rely on the in-tank low pressure pump...but i dont know if it pushes enough to supply my engine/carb....carb is a 680CFM and HP is 500.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!! Without this site and all of you guys over the last couple decades, i would not have been able to figure out a LOT of things.
