Fuel pressure gauge unsteady....

I'm running a tpi pump with a mallory 3 port return style regulator and a holley 650. While it doesn't seem to effect running is this normal or is my pump or regulator going south? Basically it never stays at a consistant pressure, it will bounce up and down a few psi regardless of rpm or load...

I'm not familiar with fp on a carb, however that is normal for tpi. The gauge fluctuates a little. You looking for the average fp.
