    I tried using the stock Volvo pump, but in end I decided to replace it. I picked up a Carter fuel pump. My question is, can I mount it on the engine or do I have to mount it lower for better fuel pickup? I still want to use the Volvo secondary filter. Starting to put everything back together...

    Will I had time to pull the VST off the boat and I opened up the distributor cap and here is the model of distributor that is on the Volvo 5.7. Sierra 18-5484-1 They must of put a new one on when they rebuilt the engine. I looked it up and it needs a control module to make it work. Is that...

    Perfect You just saved me $400 Do I need to change anything on it for the carb conversion? I will put a new coil on. The old one looks tired. Thanks

    Will I started removing the old wiring harness, TBI, and fuel lines. I have confirmed that the Edelbrock 1409 will bolt directly to my manifold. I will cap off the overflow port. It is used with a mechanical fuel pump. I will add a Holley pressure regulator after the stock Volvo low pressure...

    Would this work for the overfull port on the 1409 carb?

    Since I am going to use the Volvo low pressure fuel pump and Holley fuel regulator, where do I run the fuel over flow line since I will be removing the VST? Does the fuel regulator set to 5 psi eliminate the fuel overflow port? Thanks

    Just a few more questions. Here is a pressure regulator with attached gauge to get the fuel pressure dialed in. Speedway Fuel Pressure Regulator 5-12 psi & Gauge 0-15 psi I can attach it directly to the Volvo low pressure pump and filter housing to make a clean installation. Should I use a hard...

    That would be great! Should I put a regulator on it or use it as is? That will help keep everything looking stock using the low pressure pump and filter setup. Thanks for the info

    Another question Would the Edelbrock manifold give me more power over the stock one?
