Cheapest or best AFPR and fuel pressure gauge for the $$?

My friend wants to get a AFPR for his 90 IROC 350. What is the cheapest or best AFPR and FP gauge combo for the $$? Thanks!

cheapest way would be to make your stock one adjustable.

do a search on this site and im sure you will find some indepth directions

overview of making it adjustable:

punch out the center of the top
braze or weld a nut over the hole
thread bolt onto the nut into the hole. adjusting where the bolt is adjusts the fuel pressure.

The Accel unit used to be cheap (less than $40) and was an all new regulator, new housing and diaphram (some have you reuse your diaphram) No idea on a current price though.

Holley is the best, it has an **** on top
to adjust it. It is alot better than a bolt and it does not hit the plenum.
later

i had to grind a lil bit off 2 different plenums i used on my TPI to get the **** to turn more. but no biggie. the big **** makes it easy to adjust.

I didnt realise that it hit. I got the Crane with the bolt and it sucks. The Holley was not out when I bought mine many years ago or I would of got one.
Good luck
