I got on the phone with Aeromotive and told him what I had.He ask me what pre-filter are you running ,I told him Earl and he replied that is your problem.I went a little cheap instead of spending $120 for their filter I went with this for $40.He said the pump was creating a vacuum and boiling the fuel,causing the problem.I ran this system before with no problem but change to different filter,because of

Spud Miller's Cave / Fuel Pressure Problem
« on: April 05, 2015, 04:53:15 PM »
I am running a 434 SBC,700 HP,1050 Dominator on gas,A2000 Aeromotive fuel log with rear regulator with return line, A1000 Aeromotive fuel pump, plumbed per Aeromotive.
Went to the track testing and started engine to check everything. Just before burn out area started to die and could tell it was fuel starvation. Towed back to pit and started again and looked ok ,then notice regulator gauge reading zero and engine not running right.
Then got home took carburetor apart and checked. Took up to my shop a couple days later and started engine and running good and showing on regulator gauge 61/2-7psi. Got in car ,put in gear and did some take off several times and very strong with no problem. Got out of car with engine running and gauge shows zero ,but still running ok.I went through the lines and all checked out,what am I missing ? Ran this combination in a Vega door car and ran 9.28 in 1/4 mile. I took engine out and put in dragster.

I to raced dirt for almost 25 years,again L.M. ,mod and sprint car. The expense and amount of help you need,I decided to do some drag racing. My very first drag car was a 125" Altered with a 505 BB Chevy. Holy cow that was a ride. Now I have a FED and very excited to feel that ride. I just love it and not tearing up a bunch of stuff. One thing that help is I was use to speed,but the acceleration is serious stuff.
Good luck and just have fun. Also do not have to worry about fights in the pits .
