Fuel Pressure, Line Sizes
How much Fuel Pressure does a 1970 Cutlass have?
350 4BBL motor.
Reason I ask is, the fuel pump on my 69 has 5 - 7 1/2 PSI but for some reason, when I went to replace mine, the new one has a 5/16th Fitting that goes from pump to carb, where as the old one that was on the motor has a 3/8th's fitting. Seems the new 68 and 69 both have a 5/16th Pump to Carb fitting at the pump from my investigating.
I was curious if the 70 replacement pump (Which does have the 3/8ths line fitting) pushes the same amount as the 69 which is 5 - 7. Didn't know if I could use this pump or what. Trying to find a 5/16th fitting to use on this new pump is almost impossible at the 20 places I've been to and the few online stores I've called don't have it either.
