i started making an adjustable fuel presssure regulator out of an extr. it came off an 89 iroc.... anyways, when i had it off the rail, i noticed some grey white crusty stuff where one of the fuel rails connects....

when i opened the FPR, their was ALOT of this crusty sh*t in their... just out of curiosity, what is that from? i assume it's not supposed to be in their, right?

oh, the guys that have the adjustable FPRs, did you run it from the stock loaction, and how easy is it to adjust? is it possible to change the two smaller rails around so the AFPR would mount to the front, and be easier to adjust?

thanx

Get a Holley AFPR. Pricey, but the easiest to use on the market. I can only assume you had some deposits in the fuel system from poor fuel quality or additives or just letting it sit too long without adding a fuel stabilizer. The innards of your fuel system should be slick as a minister's peter, with no deposits whatsoever.
