Well I installed the Aero Equipment fuel pump and the B & G bypass and the fuel pressure still drops under acceleration. Went back and actually ran 10 gauge wire on the pump thinking the amps may be dropping and slowing the pump down. Everything seems to work better but fuel pressure still dropping under acceleration. Last step I'll try is to restrict the return line (#6) and see if that keeps the pressure up there. The way the B & G bypass valve is suppose to work is you put it on the end of the fuel log after the carb which lets the carb get high volume. Set the pressure at 7 psi and when the pressure starts exceeding that the bypass valve opens. Should work but pressure keep dropping. Have # 8 line going up and # 6 going back. If the restrictor does not work then I'm going back to dead heading it and just shut the fuel pump off a 30 seconds prior to shutting off the car..........
Trying to fix the "Hot Soak" and created a much bigger problem!
