HSR reg. problem

Ok, I have my HSR installed, and everything is hooked up, when I crank the engine, my pump comes on and is working properly, plenty of pressure. but no fuel is getting past the regulator. what could be causing this?

Plugged return line or stuck regulator.

I'd think you would have plenty of pressure if the reg won't open.....

how much pressure is it showing? i'd imagine it would be pretty high.

Any chance you have the feed on the wrong line?

from what i've read, the larger hose, 8an I think it is, is the feed line and the smaller is the return, is that correct?

Check to insure that you have the lines going in the right direction. I have my feed line going into the back of the passenger rail and it returns out the regulator back to the tank. My adjusting screw is also facing out for easy adjustments. The regulators that holley supplies with their HSR kits are known to fail. Most guys replace them with a Kirban regulator. Any FPR for a GN will fit the HSR IIRC.

Do you have a part number for that Kirban adjustable regulator for the HSR fuel rail?
