OK. Going from 22re to Carbed 350. How do i modify my fuel system for this swap? How do the fuel systems differ?

I know that the FI runs 35+psi while the 350 takes 5psi or so.

Could anyone give me the basics like in-tank/out-tank/electric/manual pumps and also information on fuel regulators and fuel lines the like. Gotta start learning somewhere:D

It doesnt necessarily have to deal with my swap. Just overall edjukashun.

get the fuel to the pump (On the block)...and then to the carb...very simple!:D

You can add a prefilter to the pump if you want, but definitely add one after....that's it. No return needed.

Edit, more towards your question: You don't need some special pump (Intank, near tank, etc)..just run a stock pump.;)

alright. On your edit...you kinda confused the newbie:D

Do you mean that I should run the stock in-tank pump to the one on the block - then filter - to carb?

or

Do you mean that i should run the stock in-tank pump - filter - carb?

(i think #1 but i'm not sure)

run a line to the pump on the block...then to a filter...then to the carb. Block off any return lines that you may have now but make sure that the tank is still vented (should be through the cap).

make sense?

You will need to remove your inline pump. All that is needed for the entire system is a single fuel line from from tank to the mechanical pump on the block. Then a line from the mechanical to the carb. You should plumb a filter in between pump and carb. There is no return line, there is no regulator and there is no filter before the mechanical. You should maintain the "strainer" which is in the tank.
