high pressure and need fuel lines
I have two issues. The first is High fuel pressure. 60 psi. I installed a BBK regulator and got it down to 60 it was 80.Can't get it lower. This in return blew off the rubber fuel feed line under the hood. What is that hose called so I can get a new one? Now I can "kink" the return hose closed when the car is running is that right? Seems to me there should be some pressure there. also the number 8 cylinder isn't firing at all,plug was fouled out,but I figure thats due to fuel pressure.Could the return be clogged? Any help would be HUGE..thanks

Re: high pressure and need fuel lines
There is a possibility the return line could be blocked but there is not going to be much pressure in the return line normally. I would take the regulator apart and check it over. Did you have excessive pressure before you changed the regulator? I dont know if the factory type rubber lines are still available but mine were replaced with #6 stainless braded hose. I dont remember the fitting size but you can probibly find that info with a search.

Should have no trouble just blowing with your mouth down the return line.
If in a pinch you can replace it with rubber, autozone has the good
fuel-injection spec goodyear brand hose.
