It doesn't make it adjustable. It simply makes the fuel pressure rise by a specific amount. You need a way to move that quarter up and down for it to be adjustable, but the top cap doesn't have the strength to support a threaded screw.

You can make your own by jb-welding (or actually welding) a nut to the top of your stock fpr and then putting a shim and a bolt through the nut you welded. someone wrote a article about making one i think. It takes maybe 30 minutes to do it right. I did it, and now I have an extra holley afpr sitting around.
It would cost a lot of money to re-locate your fpr and probably wouldn't be possible to do without custom machining.
Just make your own and buy a fuel pressure guage... then your set.

Fly,
Jim is somewhat correct. The old "quarter-in-the-cap" trick doesn't make it adjustable, but this modification does:

You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view/print the file (see link below).
