Quick question on Fuel Pressure Reg.

I searched an didn't find anything that answered this question. I am going to put on an adjustable pressure regulator with the adapter and gauge. How do I adjust the pressure? Is it set at idle or wot or what?

Thanks,

RS

Re: Quick question on Fuel Pressure Reg.

it is set at idle, with the vacuum line off...set to 43.5psi...there little screw head on the end of where you hook your vacuum line to...you turn that to adjust pressure...

Re: Quick question on Fuel Pressure Reg.

Great, thank you 91, but are you talking about TPI? I have a TBI, I thought that the pressure should be set at 12 psi?
I'm confused....

Re: Quick question on Fuel Pressure Reg.

Is there a way to tell what pressure I should set it at with the winald program on my laptop? Or is there an easier/better way to do that?

Thanks,
