Just to be clear, you need a regulator that controls pressure by controlling how much is returned to the tank. A $25 regulator won't cut it, even if it has 3 ports.

Re: regulators
and you did not ask me why? you did see my carbed motor and regulator on the bench when you grabbed the headliner.

use an Aeromotive 3-20 pound universal bypass reg. summit racing 117.00
has 4 port and another for bypass.
