I have an Edlebrock 500 cfm carb. I have a Summit 110gph mechanical fuel pump rated 6 to 8 psi. The carb instructions said I should not exceed 6.5 psi. Must I use a fuel pressure guage and regulator? Thanks

I have an Edelbrock 650 and I also using a Summit brand mechanical fuel pump that is rated for 8 psi. I have been having issues with the floats and flooding. I was just wondering which regulator you went with and how its working out.
