Default Pressure relief valve?

Lots of talk about the typical burst panels. Does anyone have the Wilson pressure relief valve's in use on their sheet metal intake?

TIA,

BS

that is nice. it looks like it would bleed off pressure faster than the F.A.S.T. burst panels woould.

That is why I was wondering if anyone has been using them. No worries about replacing burst discs and it can be set for a certain pressure with a simple turn of a couple of nuts.

Robert, I really like Wilson's Carb setups, they are really nice! But alas, I an Fool Injected....LOL!

If I had to start all over I would have:

1) Bought an F-Body (instead of a brand new GTO)

2) Build a BBC

3) Use a Carburetor instead of Fuel Injection

Oh well, live and learn!
