Got the fuel pump in

Last week I decided to use my Charger to drive my daughter around to deliver birthday invitations. We went to the furthest house away first, which is about 8-10 miles and delivered the first one. We left the driveway and the car died. It acted just like it was out of gas. The pump was running, but no start and no pressure at the carb. The gauge read 1/2 a tank. I thought maybe my gas gauge was wrong. I called the in-laws to bring gas. After about 5 minutes, I tried the pump again. Pressure! So I jump in and head to the next house and call the in-laws to divert them to where we were headed. Sure enough, quits again after about 3 miles. This went on the entire trip home. I got home and ordered up a new Carter HP pump and a Holley regulator. Constant 9 PSI now. WooHooo!!!!

9 psi? That should be plenty.  :lol:

That's with nothing on but the pump. Once the car is running it holds at about 7 psi.
