I went with the 16250A, have not used it yet.

Looking at that set up also...

Advantage/Disadvantage, Bypass/Deadhead regulator?

I see Weldon leans toward Deadhead, but they sell both...

This is carbureted if it matters.

I've never tried a Bypass set up, except with fuel injected stuff with mechanical pump.

You set the dead head around 5-7#s. The pump has its bypass on the pump. I run the pump at 21-23#s Works great. Very steady pressure and more volume than you will ever need
I think the advantage to this set up would be you only have to run a short hose from the pump back to the Tank

If you are running a QJet or any other non Holley OEM carb the bypass style is the way to go.

What about the BG rebuild or freshen. I've got 2 that have been sitting dry since 2010 when I parked everything.. Any parts out there for seals and rubber parts? Hate to buy new if I can use them.. working well when parked.

I would think that even if someone doesn't sell the specific pn's for your BG pumps, you get some replacement ones from McMaster or a similar online seal outfit with some time using calipers to measure what you need. I have never had BG pumps apart though, so I could be off base on what the seals and rubber parts look like though...

Adger, I believe I've seen seal kits on racejunk for cheap money, I want to say $12.95. Worth a peek.

Ninja Fuel Systems sells rebuild parts for BG pumps and regulators. You can find him on FB or ebay. I believe Quick Fuel has the designs from BG and their parts interchange, I know the fuel filter elements will fit BG.

Montieth always ran his Hatari Qjet dead head. It was set up that way when I got the car so I tried and it worked flawlessly. Didn't see a reason to change. Ran at 6, 7 lbs.

Bruce ,I'm certainly not saying it hasn't been done that way successfully for years , most cars had a dead head system.
Technology and product advancements provided us with the options now available and having the return line is one of them ,especially with the newer high volume /pressure pumps that have flooded the market.
