Fuel Pressure Regulator

I need to replace the fuel pressure regulator on a 1990 Firebird Formula 305 V8.

Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial? I watched some youtube videos on replacing these for other makes/models..seems pretty straightforward. I cant seem to find the regulator on my engine. Where is it located?

Thanks!

Re: Fuel Pressure Regulator

If it's a TPI, the regulator is under the rear of the intake in front of the distributor. You will have to remove the intake plenum to replace it. You'll see a vacuum line running into it.

Remove the lower runner-to-manifold bolts, using the T-40 socket. There are 6 per side.
**One bolt per side is hidden and only accessed from inside the manifold area.
The one for the passenger side is accessed near the thermostat housing area, and the one for the driver.s side is accessed between the fuel pressure regulator and the distributor.
Having a good selection of extensions makes removing that driver's side one easy
Red shows the location of the bolts referenced in the post above that come from opposite side of the runner being removed
