I heard the Holley AFPR is liked by many cause you can adjust it using your fingers instead of needing a wrench. I don't know cause I have a TPIS one and trust me it is a pain to adjust it using a 8mm wrench.
Like I said this is what I heard so hopefully someone who has one can comment on it.
Good Luck!

Nice nickname!! Now people will probably get confused!!
I posted this same topic in the Aftermarket Product Review section just last week!! I was told the same things you've already heard! Either make your own or buy one! The one you can buy it usually a "kit"....you just basically get the gasket and the housing....you have to take your guts out and put it in their housing! The guts ony consist of a sping and diaphragm from what I've heard so you're really payin' $80 (or whatever) for the chrome housing!! The holley one has been suggested by many tho' because it has a **** on the top that can be turned by your hand....no tools needed! That's probably what I'll be going with!

How about the AFPR from Accel or Crane Cams,did anyone hear anything on either of those?And since the Holley AFPR is easily adjusted by hand,does it mean it also sometimes has a tendency to move around on its own sometime?Thanks alot guys...Al in NJ
