kully 560 Posted January 23, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 23, 2021 I installed the new 240 fuel rail this week . now at the start of the fuel rail my fuel pressure is 3.9 psi . so I checked at the rear carb and the fuel pressure is 3.6 psi . is the fuel pressure to high for the 4 bold carbs? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Maras Posted January 23, 2021 Share #2 Posted January 23, 2021 The float valves should be able to handle 3.6 psi. If they can't, there may be a problem with the needle or seat in the valves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kully 560 Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted January 23, 2021 I had a feeling mark you would chime in !! I read some were that su carbs like 2-2.5 at the float bowl but I do not remember where I saw it years ago. am I at the upper limit do you think?

Mark Maras Posted January 23, 2021 Share #4 Posted January 23, 2021 Every carb I've ever dealt with could take 3.5 psi. I'd let it idle for a while and check for signs of flooding before taking it on the road and check things under the hood a few times on the first trip. Always a good idea to pack a fire extinguisher too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted January 23, 2021 Share #5 Posted January 23, 2021 +1 on a $20 fire extinguisher. Mine fits inside the tool bin behind the passenger's seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine fits inside the tool bin behind the passenger's seat. yes a $ 20.00 fire extinguisher is something I should be carrying anyway . this car is like my left nut, I bought in 1979 and do not want to loose it now!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted January 23, 2021 Share #7 Posted January 23, 2021 Just imagine standing on the side of the road and watching all your work burn up. It's sickening. I bought the rechargeable metal one from Lowes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyitsrama Posted January 24, 2021 Share #11 Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Not sure how much a regular fire extinguisher is, but this one looks really light weight, but is priced at 79 bucks :0 https://elementfire.com/collections/allproducts/products/element-e50 Edited January 24, 2021 by heyitsrama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
