You can use the same fuel system. You will have to use a return type regulator and set the pressure to 5-8 psi. Hope this helps. You can also do a serch on corral there is plenty of help there. You will also need the correct throttle cable. off 85 and older stang.

It runs at 40+ psi ALL THE TIME. Throw a carb'd regulator at it, it will burn up within weeks. 2. Why would you want to go through the hassle of setting up/running a return line? -------------------- 1965 Shelby Cobra 1993 Cobra 2012 F150 Raptor 2020 GT500 Posts: 6523 | From: Orlando FL/Redding CA | Registered: Mar 2002  |  :
