    Fuel pressure too high, how to fix? Small block GM V8

    Holley or carter 2-port fuel pressure regulator. Holley p/n 12-803 or Carter 404501HP most of them have zinc coated hardware. however a rattle can of engine paint takes care of that. at 12 psi, the motor wont run cold or warm as the carb would be dumping fuel down the intake.

    OMC 250 hp rough idle, back fires through carb on load

    fuel lasts 6-12 months. Stabilizer at the most can extend that up to 6 months. if you have a floor to varnish, you have a tank full of it.

    Ok a question about points systems….

    battery only voltage is always lower than alternator voltage. thats why when the engine is running, the voltage increases..... (and lights get brighter, and fans run faster, etc) its also why the coil voltage was 5.2 on battery only and went up to 9.6 volts.

    377 mag mpi dts Hard start after the first time

    these two sentences are a dichotomy. if the voltage is dropping while cranking to 10.5 with one battery or two batteries, the issue is either the ground lug on the block or the power connection at the starter, or the ground and power at the cannon plug.

    377 mag mpi dts Hard start after the first time

    check battery connections and other wiring to the starboard engine. if the voltage is low during cranking and is dropping, that would be bad connections somewhere
