747 TBI conversion -fuel pump recommendation- electric fan

[dave w]

I use the E2000 on my TPI engines AKA: Delco EP286, Carter P74028, Airtex E2000...it has twice the pressure needed for TBI... Was hoping there was one around 50 psi or under.

Thanks

The fuel pressure regulator sets the fuel pressure, not the pump. I've installed several TPI fuel pumps for TBI service, mostly 454 applications. The Carter P7408 works great for TBI!

10-4...Those E2000 pumps push out up to 90psi, the TBI regulator wasn't intended to handle that much pressure...I'm sure it could with 3/8' lines for a period without problems but would just feel better with a pump that doesn't exceed 50 psi and not worry about leak by.

They have been used in TBI conversions about a bizillion times without issue... I would run 3/8 feed and return. If the return is not enough it raises pressure.
