which fuel regulator?

Ok, I swapped my 2.8 to a 3.4 about 1,000 miles ago (runs great), 3.4 injectors and what not, but I checked and it seems that my fuel pressure regulator is going bad. The one in there right now is for the 2.8.


So my question is, should I go with a regulator for a 3.4? I heard that either a 2.8 or 3.4 regulator will work, and that they may be the same thing. Which do you think will work better??? Going with a stock part, thanks!

For what its worth I am running a adjustable BBK regulator for a TPI on my V6 ..the adjustment screw will need to be shorter in length ..hits the bottom of the upper plenum.So that could be an option for you?.

I have a BBK. It bolts right on, no problem. The ajuster screw is to long that is it.
