Hi Jester, Please Help if you can.
I've been putting together the pieces for my carb swap and I've finally got it all torn down. I bought the BG #132-171021 AFPR as suggested in your article and I called the tech line at BG and they told me it is the wrong part, it isn't a regulator it's a bypass and it won't work.
What can you tell me? Hopefully something good, cause they're reluctant to take the part back at the store.
Thanks

How 'bout someone else...?
Does anyone know if this part can be used in my application?
If so how?
It's getting urgent, I've been without wheels for 5 days.

Vendor:
BG Fuel Systems
Product Line:
BG Fuel Systems Diaphragm Fuel Bypasses
Material:
Billet Aluminum
Finish:
Anodized Red
Accurate fuel pressure with quick response.
For mechanical or electric fuel pumps, diaphragm bypass
For the gasoline guys running electric fuel pumps that put out over 8 psi, we have this diaphragm bypass. It has an adjustable, pressure-sensitive diaphragm valve that opens at a set pressure, bleeding excess fuel back to the fuel cell. That maintains steady fuel pressure at the carburetor inlets and prevents pressure spikes during deceleration. This bypass has a 3/8 in. NPT inlet, outlet, and pressure port.
Sold individually.

I can't remember which PN is the right one, but it sounds like it's the right one to me. It must be that techs first day.

Its possible that it was his first day.. or something, he seemed more interested in making me feel like an idiot than helping out.
A question ; The diagram shows that this regulator/ bypass connects after the carb on the return line, does that sound right?
A regulator usually connects between the pump and the carb, correct?
any feedback would help.
Thanks

There are a couple different kinds of regs. The one you have, the port on the bottom should be the line in from the pump. The one on the left goes to the carb, and the one on the right goes to the return line. I might have left and right mixed up, but I'm 90% sure it's that way.

...slight delay, had to go to wk.
anyhow, Jester, if you're still there. My reg has 3 ports, they're labeled, IN, RET and P/O any idea what the P/O means?
And on the install instructions they used only two of them, as I also mentioned, in the diagram the reg was set up so the fuel flow goes to the carb before it reaches the reg.
Make any sense to ya?

Seems like a combination of a funky diagram and an incompetent tech man.
I'll post a copy of the instructions on mon. if you're interested. (I can't do it from this computer)
I'm gonna call BG tech for a second opinion too.
I have a feeling this will work but I'd like to be sure, it was a pricey part and I can't return it used.
Has anyone else out there tried one of these regs??
