I have just finished putting a Ford 302 HO in my son's 94 Thunderbird and was wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a fuel regulator available that would reduce the old fuel injection pump pressure down to a useable carb level pressure? If there isn't one, could I just disconnect the old fuel pump and put in a regular electric fuel pump in the fuel line? Would the old pump stop the flow from the gas tank? I really don't want to take out the gas tank if I don't have to.

There was once such a regulator available from MOROSO (PN 65145). Excess fuel volume was returned to the tank via the old EFI return line. It kept the pump cool as does the EFI system.

I have installed a couple of low pressure fuel pumps and the instructions warned NOT to attempt to pump fuel through the old pump.

I am using a stock 80 something Ford pump in the tank of the Elky (Bronco Tank)
I think I have an Aeroquip regulator--Been a long timke since I put it on, forgot what brand.
Thee are a couple of the bypass regs that have a alternate spring.
My reg is adjustable from 3-30 and 30-70 I think--not sure, I have it set at 6.

Aeromotive 13301 regulator would work for your needs. it's a bypass regulator, for carb'd applications

Thanks for the responses, I'll check out the regulators. Otherwise, I guess the tank will HAVE to come out.

The stock fuel pump for most Ford fuel injected systems delivers fuel at about 28-32 PSI. This will obviously overcome the float in a carb. A decent quality aftermarket fuel pump will draw the fuel right through the original pump with the electricity turned off, in the tank of a fuel injected car. However the fuel pump will have to work a little bit harder to suck the fuel through this pump to deliver it to the carb in this converted drive train car. The best plan is to take the tank down and fit it with a fuel pickup assembly from an earlier fuel tank or modify the existing fuel pickup to eliminate the electric fuel pump and retain the existing float so that the fuel gauge will read correctly. Good luck with this problem. Yours, westfaliaguy.

Thanks, I was hoping it would be a more simple process but it seems to be the consensus that the tank will have to drop. Oh well, may as well get at it.
