bad fuel pressure regulator??

i just changed intake gaskets on my 89 350 tpi motor... went to start it and the vacume hose coming off the pressure regulator is just peeing gas into the plenum. im guessing the regulators bad but could it be somting else? like cloged injectors or a bad vacume line? thanks for your help!!!

sounds like a bad diaphragm. The vacuum line never sees gasoline...

FPR is the only thing going on here. Diaphram ruptured is the only way gas can go through that vacuum line. Change that and you will be fine.
