I want to put my 2.4 on a different boat that doesn't have a return line. I mostly always use a blue holley with an Aeromotive return regulator. I have dead headed a red holley before, but dont like to. Is there any pump you guys have used deadhead, that is reliable? I really don't want to try to put the vaccum back on. Thanks

A carter gerator pump will work reliably as a dead head. https://www.amazon.com/Carter-P4070-Line-Electric-Fuel/dp/B000CIQ5DG/ref=asc_df_B000CIQ5DG/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312442771380&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6663194731602941391&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1015137&hvtargid=pla-569979893960&psc=1

Never dead head a fuel pump or regulator.

Sounds like a carb motor, the Carter mentioned above is a good choice and much less noise than the Holley pumps.

that's why I asked..
but a blue holley won't support an efi.. I never ran a return with 7lb or less pump ona carb motor... usually 'bout a 4/5 pounder... WH/WMH'S.. never a problem.. fewer parts.. but that's jus me.
