Cool Can. Use one or not?
Tazz, most crburetted cars including yours have what is called a "dead head" system.That is,fuel is pumped from the tank and is stopped dead at the needle and seat.
Oldmanmopar described "full flow" system well with
I'll show you mine just to explain it better
Fuel is delivered to the fuel rail (log) and lines from the tank via the silver insulated line at the bottom of the pic.The regulator at the rear of the engine is used is set up at the other end so it works as a bypass reg.You can get a bypass reg but this is how you plumb up an ordinary holley blue reg to work as a bypass reg.
The guage at the front measures working pressure.The guage at the rear measures bypass pressure but is not really necessary.
The port below the rear guage now sports a seder for an autometer fuel pressure guage mounted in my dash.
This pic shows the return line which runs from the reg back to the tank.When returning into the tank you need to install a drop tube so the fuel is returned submerged.If you just dump it straight into the top of the tank the percolation will kill your octanes in no time.It's also a good idea to return it to the opposite end of the tank from your suction line so that you are not just circulating the same fuel.
My setup looks complicated but only because it's feeding 3 carbs but it's really quite simple and easy.
Hope this helps explain it.
