Hmmm,
Doing some final detail work on this Lady. Went to move it out of the shop and the engine wouldn't stay running again .... (Haven't got the new pump yet.) Checked pressure gauge and -0- again!

Ok, I do what I do best, I tore the brand new Holley 150 apart. Figured I couldn't hurt it.
Motor is totally seperate of the gears. Taking it apart there is an '0' ring on top of the gears- OK makes sense, then a large donut rubber gaskets with slots for fuel flow. Then a large matching metal washer with matching slots... Hmm?
How is the fuel supposed to go from the rubber washer though the metal plate and into the gears?

I simply changed the positioning of the rubber and the metal washer, Reinstalled, hit the switch and lo and behold, there it was... 7.5 p.s.i. vs. 4.5/0 p.s.i.!

And I thought it ran good before! Now I am thinking about doing my mods to the stock, (crappy) sidepipes!!!!
