    Went to NAPA and picked up a new regulator. Parts guy says "that one is disc and will no longer be available".
    I bought Napa/Balkamp # 730-2367, 1-6 lbs, chrome with adjustable dial for 5/16 fuel line.
    Is this true ?
    What is everybody using ?
    I have seen the Holleys that use an allen wrench, and really did not want to permently mount it somewhere.
    comment appreciated !

    I had one like the one javracer's pic shows on the jeep for a couple of days, but it only had settings for 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder, etc. I've already had a fire caused by too much fuel pressure, so I opted for the holley with an in line pressure gauge to fine tune it. Aside from a nice crome coating on the inside of the threads :rofl: , I've been happy with it.

    I bought the napa one back when I had a weber on the heep. Didn't seem to do much other than leaking after two weeks.:evil:

    I had one like the one pictured above. It started leaking after about a month. Not just a leak, but a real spray. I put in the Holley with the gauge and it's worked fine. Keep an eye on the one with the dial on top. IMHO they're dangerous.

    Why do you need one of these? Reason I ask is, I don't have one...do I need one?

    Most people put them in to help correct carburetor flooding in off-camber situations. If you aren't having a problem on steep inclines I wouldn't bother with one.

    I had one on Dutch for a bit..with the dial. It seemed to either starve the motor or have no effect, depending on the setting...;)

    Solexes on F-heads benefit from them. They can be finicky about the amout of fuel pressure they're recieving. If it's an electric fuel pump with the Solex then I recomend one. Since Speedy has none of the above, probably not. ;)

    Interesting. I think I have a 1~3 psi electric pump. Doesn't the Solex use
    2 psi?? I haven't had much problem w/ mine but I haven't done any heavy
    duty off road. Is it something I should consider??
