Fuel Pressure regulator?

I was wondering which regulator I should use? I am using the stock v6 fuel tank and pump. I would like to spend less than 50-60 dollars if possible. I usually order stuff from Summit or Jeg's. Do they sell any good ones for this price or less, or do I need to spend more $$$? Thanks in advance.

.030 over, studded 2 bolt main, #487 casting heads w/2.02/1.60 valves, Crane Energizer cam, Performer intake, Edelbrock 750 carb.

Low-Budget and proud of it!

I'm in the same boat,I put a V-8 in a 2.8 V-6 car and can't find a regulater to reduce the flow down from 45psi for less than $80.00,mine was the multiport, some of them (TBI i think) are only 15 psi.I guess I'll have to drop that tank after all!!I hope someone answers this soon.

There are none that will do it for less that $80.

You best bet cheap wise is to get a decent mechanical pump for ~$35, drop the tank and replace the pump with a pickup (read, section of hose).
