Bay window concerns / 78 2.0L air cooled fuel pump question

« on: April 05, 2009, 12:12:09 PM »

My wife and I just bought a 1978 Westy Camper - 2.0 liter pancake. The bus was originally fuel injected but was converted at some point to dual webbers. The fuel line from the fuel pump goes to what looks like is a homemade fuel regulator valve then to a y adapter and then a seperate fuel line to each carb. I have been told that the fuel injected fuel pumps put out more fuel pressure and that the "regulator: was put inline to reduce the fuel pressure to the carbs. #1) Is this a true statement and #2) can I replace the fuel punp with a pump from a carb model...and if so what fuel pump should I look for? When you start the bus the right carb dumps fuel into the motor...I was thinking of taking the dual carbs off and running 1 progressive instead. The previous owner said it is too difficult to keeps the dual carbs syncro'd - any ideas?
