Wow!
And yes, I saw the Deer.
Say you've got In-Tank Electric Pump ACDelco EP386. What is its Output Pressure, going into that Regulator (which I can't find so far)? Our 460 Ford, about the same vintage, had an electric in-tank pump with a return line back to the tank. There was no mechanical pump on the engine. The "regulator" was nothing but a tee with an orifice in it. The idea was to provide the fuel the carb demanded while maintaining a flow that prevented vapor lock. I never cut one apart to see how it was made, but I heard of them failing in a way that they sent all the fuel back down the return line, starving the carb.
