I am helping a friend work on getting his truck running. The motor is a Ford small block but we have been unable to identify it. The fuel pump died and we went through all the available options from the parts store but couldn't make a match. We decided to go electric to solve this problem. I built a block off plate and installed a universal electric pump and filter setup that is intended for use with carburated applications. It puts out only 4-7 PSI and is supposed to not need a fuel pressure regulator. The carb is a brand new Holley 4160 (vac sec with elec choke single inlet side hung). It had less than 100 miles on it when the fuel pump went. Now that we have the fuel source fixed, the truck will run but it dies when you open the throttle quickly. It was suggested that we need to tune it with regard to the idle screws and it was also suggested that we add a fuel pressure regulator. There are no vacuum leaks. Do you think we need the regulator or is this a different problem?
