[Syty] Fuel Pump

[DOlivares]

My TTA stood up better to the Boost-a-Volt:  Already had a 140-amp alternator and Optima battery.  Results: NO MORE WOT-starve-outs!  Volt-boost comes in with the "Seventh-Injector" at 15psi....  Gotta get that thing off the cinder-blox... one of these daze....

I still have one of those suped-up Bosch pumps, NIB, but I never was able to burn out my stock pump in the TTA for all the years I drove it.  However, whether I ever need to swap-out that pump or not, I'm not too afraid since I got rid of all that cross-tank restrictive exhaust system early on-- just like I dumped the spare-tire rig on the 'Clone-- to reduce weight and simplify under-car operations.

As I remember from ATR's (RIP) old catalog, there was a progression of GM FP regulators and I think also pumps in those years. The GN, and then the TTA and finally the SyTy's. ATR used to offer the upgraded GM models as an upgrade to the earlier models. But then as far as fuel pumps go, Walbro blew them all away.

As far as the Boost - Volt devices. I've been trying them for at least 10 yrs. The original versions, from BGC (Bowling Green Customs for the younger guys) used to say U could crank them to 17 V. OK - I tried that on my TTA and blew out my Alternator and stock Fuel Pump. If U know anything about TTA's, I don't need to tell U how much work that made for me. I pray that I don't have to put another fuel pump in my TTA. I'll drill a hole in the top of my gas tank before I do another one!

>From what I hear, the newer versions on Volt Boosters limit the top voltage to 15 VDC.
