Well...I think the title says it all. I still burn rich as you can really smell it sometimes.

 

Ok, I'm making this up as I go along...but I think it's a pretty viable way to test the sucker! Buy a fuel pressure gauge and a vacuum pump. Hook the pressure gauge up to the Schrader valve and see what your fuel pressure is at at idle, with vacuum. Then kill the car and remove the vacuum line from the regulator, and attach the vacuum pump. Start the car and see what pressure it reads with zero vacuum. SHOULD be drastically higher. Start pumping that vacuum pump and watch the gauge...see if the pressure starts going down. Once you pump it up to around 18 or 20 hg's of vacuum, I figure you should probably be back to about the same idle pressure as it was with the car's vacuum connector on...

Tell me if that works!!

 

if only i had a vaccuum guage/pump

 

They're like $20 or $25 at the local Advance/Autozone. But you can at least check the pressure WITH the vacuum connector on and then WITHOUT and see how much that varies. At least you'll know that the vaucum diaphragm is working then. The pump would only aid in seeing how WELL it's working.
