This is just the way I have been taught to do the pump/filter installation, both in my car hobby and my marine profession.

Don,
The respect on opinions is mutual, and you obviously have followed the recommendations of the equipment suppliers in your approach as I did in mine. I suppose that to maintain warranties, etc, it is best to consider the OEM instructions and then do what we believe to be best for our specific installations. Like Jack stated, monitoring the pressure at the carb or fuel rail is a good idea, with an occasional cruise rpm check as filters age.

Thanks for taking time to include the Holley and Carter references. I really appreciate this type of dialog as it makes me think about why I've done something a certain way, and learning is never a bad thing.

Ditto. The old guys always know best
