Re: 'Wintergreen' 1969 GMC Build

Finished getting the fuel system all plumbed, and fired up the fuel pump to make sure it was gonna work. Had to fix a few little leaks and rebuild the regulator. When I first started it up, the pump kept dead heading. Finally realized the the adjustable regulator was cranked all the way down (I bought it used) and the pump wasn't strong enough to open it. I backed it off all the way, started the pump again, and then worked it up to the 50psi mark (which is where I want to for my injector size). I let it run for about half an hour the pump seemed pretty happy there.

Had a video of the test, but not sure how to post. Just shows the pressure tester sitting at 50psi.
