Turn it until the gauge says 7 psi.

If it's over 7 psi, back it off. If it's under 7 psi, turn it in.

I don't understand why you would be asking about the number of turns.

You don't have to be driving it to set it. An underhood fuel pressure gauge will do just fine. Set it, lock it, drive it.

There is no way that turning the adjustment screw in a certain number of turns will do you better than that.

If you don't believe us, call Mallory's tech support. They'll give you the same answer, assuming you can hang on the line long enough for them to stop laughing.

Nobody's being smart with you. You've gotten the right advice - you just don't seem to be willing or able to accept it.

Re: how many turns for 7psi

Honestly???

Are you really asking the people of thirdgen to search the web for you and find a guage. This is really something you dont need to post in the forums. You can do SOMETHING yourself.
