[Tigers] Carburetor input pressure

	I believe the Autolite carb is looking for a max of 4.5 psi.
The original SU pump delivered about 2 psi.
You need to check the running fuel pressure to know if you will need a
regulator or a lower psi pump.

I just put an Edelbrock electric fuel pump on my 66 MK1A with an original 2
barrel carb . The pump had a rating of 4-7psi. At idle it is reading 8.5psi.
I have not yet tested it under load. Is the 8.5psi too high for the float
control valve to operate properly and should i put a regulator on it? Any
input appreciated.
