Thanks Tracy. I found the same model that Kelly found; it looked
like it had two barbed fittings and a MAP port. That one it would
do fine, but I'd like threaded ends if I can find them.
I gave up on the speed shops & took a shot at (ugh) Autozone.
Much better info & hundreds of selections. Just about all their
product is made by GP-Sorensen. The AZ site has some info; model
application is available at the GP-S site: http://www.gpsbrand.com/web_app/gps_bgbulk.aspx
The models that I flagged for further inspection are (all start with
800-):
800-408
-284
-180
-218
-411
-183
None of the info I could find gave thread sizes. Pressures varied
from mid 30s to mid 60's. None had adjustable pressure.
I'm hoping I can fab a block to accept both pump outputs, the
regulator, and a tap for a pressure gauge. Should be fairly simple
using a drill press & a few taps; also have access to a
neighbor's lathe & mill if needed.

On the
RV-8 I used a Nissan regulator from a Z-300. It has a port for
the manifold pressure and hose barbs for all the fuel
connections. Works great. I've never tried a regulator without
the manifold port to vary the fuel pressure so don't know if there
is enough range in the EC2/3 to compensate for the lack of it or
not.

What have y'all been using for a regulator?
The online speed shops seem to have very limited info on
their regulators (MAP sensing, in/out connectors, even
regulation pressure).
OEM regulators are cheap ($23-$50) but all I've seen
would require a machined adapter block. The in-line
types that I've found that are well documented &
should work, are fairly expensive ($120+). My intent is
to insert the regulator immediately after the high
pressure pumps, on the cockpit side of the firewall,
common practice on new cars & I think that's what
Tracy did on the RV-8. Some of the inline regulators
don't seem to have MAP sensing; is anyone using a
regulator w/o MAP sensing?
Thanks,
Charlie
