I'm finally getting around to replacing my Holley Red with a Carter on my 1st-gen. I've got the Summit Racing catalog sitting in front of me--which pump is the correct one to order and which regulator do I need? TIA

Like a dummy I thru away the box that yaw sent me but I can tell you the reg you want is the Holley 12-804 1-4#
later today when I get home ill jack the car up and get the number off the pump.

Thanks Daryl,
I've been using the Holley regulator already (with the Holley Red pump), but I've been having problems with pressure creep. I thought there was a Carter regulator which was supposed to solve the problem. Have you had good luck holding a steady pressure using the Carter pump with the Holley regulator?

let me guess, you dont have a return line back to your tank do you?
there is no way to stop creep unless you have the return line in.

No, there's no return line. I had been told, though, that a carter pump along with a certain regulator, does a pretty good job of holding the pressure low enough and minimizing creep. I just can't remember which regulator it was. Anyway, I'm stuck running no return line right now, since there's a fuel cell with no return fitting and the carb (one of Stan's older ones, I believe) is set up with no return.

Thanks guys,
I found the part# and ordered it last night. Hopefully this will be the cure and I won't have to see gas seeping out of every orifice of my carb as the pressure spikes over 15lbs.!!!!
