    Running a 1000 TQ CS that ran fine with an electric pump putting out 6-7lbs.of pressure.
    Due to the pumps failing one time or another,put in a new super trick mechanical pump.At start up read 11-12 lbs pressure.Thought it was a little high but the car ran fine.Next day I open her up and Whooooo,starts running like the choke is out.
    Open carb and sure enough one of the seats were "locked down" big time.
    Question:what is a safe pressure?(obviously 11 or 12 is not)to run. :3gears:

    4 to 5 psi at WOT under load. Should stay at 6 or 7 at idle.

    Have fun.
