Problem with stealth ram fuel rails.....

I'm having trouble with fuel getting threw the holley adjustable fuel regulator. I switched back to the non-adjustable regulator and the same thing was happening. The fuel pumps from the fuel pump right up to the regulator and doesn't go through out the entire fuel rail. Would like to hear from anybody with a holley stealth ram that may have had a similar problems.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but shouldn't the fuel go through the rails FIRST, then to the regulator, where it bleeds off excess pressure to the return line?

The high pressure line goes to one end of a fuel rail; the other end of that one goes to the end of the other rail; then the regulator goes at the end of the second rail, with the return line hooked to it.

The regulator sort of "bleeds off" fuel to lower the pressure. It doesn't go in-line like the ones we're used to for carbs do.
