Holley Blue Fuel Pumps

Here is what I've done so far.
Drained tank. Strained fuel. Clean no trash. Foam isn't blocking outlet. Used a paper paint strainer.
Blew lots of air thru fuel line. Clean, straight and no kinks. Almost all 1/2" aluminum tubing except where it comes out of the tank to the filter and from the regulator to both carb inlets..
New Wix fuel filter in the Fram housing.
New Blue Pump and Regulator. Cleaned undercoating off and removed the paint with an air grinder. I wanted to make sure the extra ground wire had a good ground.
Did away with relay on fuel pump and went back to directly wired.
Still wants to lose pressure.
Another new Holley regulator that I had.
Still losing pressure.
Out of curiousity I disassembled old pump. No trash on screen and vanes free. So I'm sure it's good.
I'll look into it some more tonight.

what micron rating is your fuel filter? i killed a holley blue pump with less than 30 passes on it. pump got so hot it locked up on me. i was running a Mallory comp 140 fuel filter before the pump that has a micron rating of 40. after doing some reading found out that with a vane pump like the Holley you are so posed to run a 100 micron filter before the pump and a 40 micron after. here is the new filter i bought for my car. also stepped up to the holly black pump. dont know if this is your problem but something to look into.
