What is the fuel pressure on a stock over the counter fuel pump that would be bought for a 1968 327.

Thanks Mike

That is probably the recommended. The one for my Ford was pumping around 9 (stock, block mounted) so I needed a regulator.

The question may need to be reworded to what is the max pressure I should be pushing into my (insert manufacturer here) carburetor.

I am not that knowledgeable in this area just had a lot of problems with it myself last year.
You never have time to do it right the first time but you always have time to do it again.

Edelbrock carbs. They say 6lbs max.  I don't have a regulator on the set up now. Should I try it first or should I plumb in a regulator?

Thank Mike

This is for a dual carb set up.  

Will the pressure from the pump to each carb be less or the same when feeding two carbs versus one?

Pressure will be the same, volume will be less.

Someone with more knowledge may know better, but I would suggest putting it in now so you know. You will probably be doing a lot of fine tuning on the cards so the more you info you have the better.

Edelbrock carbs don't generally like pressure over 5 lbs so I would recommend plumbing in a regulator.
