Hey fellas...88 Ranger, originally 2.9L, now 5.0 CARBED.
If i turn key to ON, fuel pump will prime system and carb to the 6.5psi needed for the carb (i am using a Holley pressure regulator as this system, as you know, also has the high pressure pump.
Problem is system wont maintain pressure. As engine runs the pressure gradually bleeds down on fuel pressure gauge until engine shuts off.
I dont think the high pressure pump is running after engine starts??? I tried feeling the pump for life while she was running but cam is so lopey all i feel is vibration from the engine.
What would you do at this point. Thanks for your time guys.
