I am doing a 350 engine swap in a 89 jeep wrangler with a 700r4 tranny and a 231C chevy transfer case,edelbrock carb. and Mr. Gasket regulator with a return line. In earlier posts it was said to just use a regulator to regulate the fuel from the existing pump. The problem i am having is when i turn key on the fuel pump it will energize for 3 seconds and motor will start normally but motor will stop running after it runs the gas out of fuel bowl. I know the fuel pump is not pumping after motor starts because i am using a see thru filter. Any ideas with problem? The original motor was a 2.5 tbi and i am using a edelbrock carb. on chevy 350.
