Topic: instead of fuel pressure regulator?

[40mikemike]

Howdy all, instead of running a fuel pressure regulator anybody try to "neck" down (pun intended) the fuel line I have a couple extra line to line butt connectors, thinking of going down in 1/8" increments from the pump to the carb?  (22R desmogged weber 32/36)

Might save me $20 anyone think it'll work, done it???

No.

You'll restrict flow and pressure. 

If you lower the pressure enough at idle so that you won't flood out the carb, you'll never get enough fuel at WOT.

[brainlessfool]

nope. will not lower presser at idle at all and will not let enuff fuel though at high speed.

well that's solved thanks,
 
what fuel pressure reg do you folks recommend?

[OOPS]

Necking something down will increase the pressure, lessen the volume, think fire nozzle.
