can you use an lly CP3 & regulator in an LB7 application? If no, why not?

Yes I believe you can Todd. I believe all years are interchangeable... I just know the LB7 Regulator has a straight connection where as the LLY+ have the 90*

You should not have a problem with it. If anything you may have to change the fuel current values but that would be it so it would idle correctly and attain rail pressure properly.

Running an LBZ pump in my LB7 as we speak. Regulator voltages were re-scaled and only get a hint of lope early on a cold start or really low fuel tank levels.

You will have to alter some plumbing due to the different regulator end. But if you put a LB7 regulator on the LLY pump, that problem goes away. If you can, use an LBZ/LMM pump, not an LLY. Price is similiar, but you get 8% more flow.

TTT. The truck is now running I saw it last night. It idles great as long as you don't touch the throttle. But if you do as soon as it revs & comes back down to idle it acts like you are unplugging the reg for 2 seconds and then plugging it right back in. Rescaling probably won't help that will it? Who has an answer :hug:
