Regulator Port

Will a Mechanical Fuel Pump work WITH the In Tank Pump?

I have a 92 Camaro with a new carbed 350 motor. I am using a 3 port Mallory Regulator with the Stock In Tank Pump but I keeps loosing fuel pressure.

No the mech. pump won't draw through the in tank pump. You would need to remove it and replace with older type pickup or a lenght on metal hard line before a mech. pump would work.

Next, edelbrock mech. pumps are junk, about the worst you can get. They leak bewteen the housing. Best mech. pump is the carter line, then the holley line.

Why do you say yours is loosing pressure? Are you reading a small gauge mounted to the reg? If so it may not be tellin you the truth. Those little gauges you screw into regs, has a prob with heat and once heated up won't read right.

Now also if you are dropping pressure, when does it drop? This can be a key to whats going on. If pressure is droppng at WOT then the pump aint keeping up with the engine.

If its dropping at idle, or cruise, I would say the prob is the lines or reg. it's self.. Like a small air leak in one of the lines or fittings. You can getan air leak, with out leaking fuel..

Or the reg is leaking air

Check all of your fittings, make sure you have the right ones.. Remember threads does not interchange.. You can't use an AN thread with a pipe thread..

Safety First: How To Comply With New Driving Regulations

The New Year has recently come, and along with it comes new laws and regulations.  In 2009, it is no longer legal to text message while driving your automobile in seven states!  Five states have a ban on using handheld cell phones while driving.  Not every state has these laws in place, but the trend is in favor of the new cell phone regulations.  These new laws are made to increase highway safety.   It is both unsafe and distracting to have such devices on while operating a motor vehicle.  It is all too easy to lose focus of cars on the road, while fumbling around with your devices.

In recent years, many products have been made to help eliminate these distractions from you while driving.  These devices not only can help you avoid a traffic ticket, but more importantly, can save your life. The days of freely speaking on your cell phone or text messaging others while driving are coming swiftly to an end.  New laws and regulations have been put in place in a growing number of states and are heavily enforced.  All is not lost, however. There are ways around this by using a hands free kit for your cell phone.  Essentially, you can speak on your phone while driving as long as you are not holding the phone in your hand.

The most popular method of compliance with the current cell phone laws are wireless headsets.  Everyone has seen that person talking to themselves in their car, but upon closer inspection we see them wearing a strange device over their ear.  This is called a wireless headset. They are becoming more and more popular, especially with the new law emerging requiring cell phone users to have a hands-free device. Bluetooth headsets are the preferred choice as they are smaller and more compact than a wired headset.  Bluetooth allows wireless communication to take place among a cell phone and a hands-free headset.  This allows the user full use the cell phone without ever touching it.

There are different versions: Bluetooth 1.1, Bluetooth 1.2, Bluetooth 2.0, and Bluetooth 2.1.  Bluetooth 2.1 comes with the latest features and advancements such as: voicemail retrieval, one touch dialing, one touch answering,  call mute, voice dialing, last-number redial, fast transaction speeds, low power consumption, and secure networks.  They are also quite affordable, ranging from $3 to $100+.  It is not a wise investment to go for the top of the line Bluetooth, as they all are very similar when it comes down to functionality.

There is another way to comply with the cell phone laws, using a cell phone cradle.  Cell phone cradles are plugged into a car through its cigarette lighter (DC Outlet) to achieve power.  Once powered on, the cell phone nicely fits into in the cradle.  The cradle projects the phone call out through a loudspeaker or through the car's speakers.  It is clear and easy to hear; this makes for minimal driving distractions.  The cradle charges your cell phone when placed in the cradle.  It is easy to access the cell phone as it is sticking out of your automobile's dashboard.  It can add style to your car with the correct model and design.

A big problem with electronic devices is running out of battery power, while on the road or away from an electrical outlet.   There is an answer to your problems: DC to AC inverters.  They save time and energy, while ensuring a safer drive.  Simply plug the adapter into a cigarette lighter (DC outlet) for instantaneous use of AC power.   These devices fit are compatible with almost all car cigarette lighters.  Now you can ensure that your electronics are always charged and ready to use.  Some power adaptor companies have two or more AC power adapters, while others have USB ports.   It is strictly personal preference, as to which features you want and need.  I recommend having at least one AC power slot and one USB port.

There are many varieties when it comes to AC-DC power inverters.  They come in an array of shapes, sizes, designs, and features.  Some are large and bulky, while others are small and compact in design.   Some hold more wattage at a time, allowing for multiple devices to be charged.  Most now come with a built-in cooling fan to prevent overheating.  There are also special features that automatically shut the device off after the car is turned off.  This will save the car's battery life.

Accessory Power DC to AC power adapters with USB ports have enough power to charge a wide variety of electronics, such as: cameras, cell phones, laptops, music players, video players, VCR's, DVD Players, GPS, two-way radios, video game consoles, Bluetooth's, and more.  Why let your electronics lose power and battery life while driving, when you can always charge up your electronic devices.  There are many different choices out there when deciding on brand.  Mobile Power Flex and Power Bright are on the cutting edge of universal DC to AC power adapters.
