Amici:

I sure agree with this.  This was one of our gremlins a few years ago.  
Holley offers two basic fuel pumps, and the low end of one is right about the 
high 
end of a maximum ideal fuel pressure...especially for SUs.  It was nearly 
impossible to 'adjust' it to that low end of the pump's pressure.  We replaced 
it 
with the lower pressure pump.  I run about 1 1/2 pounds of pressure now, and 
it seems to work fine.
