My son-in-law has 1992 w/t1500 with a transplanted carb version V8. It has a fuel regulator in-line(2nd one) It will over flow the carburetor after running short while. I've put in new float and rebuild kit in carb. but it still has the over flow. If I diconnect the electric fuel pump and install a mechanical pump. Will iy have enough to pull fuel thru in tank pump? This thing is really a HILLBILLY dream! Or would it be better to return the engine back to a TBI system? All the wires for TBI seems to be still there. Third seniro, put a match to it?
