The way you adjust the fuel pressure is: -Turn on your car -Disconnect the regulators vacuum line -Loosen the nut on the thread at the top of the regulator -Using an Allen head wrench, turn the threaded fitting clockwise for more pressure and opposite for less pressure. -Tighten down the locking nut -Re-connect the vacuum line -Go drive around and see if the car feels better than before. Without a gauge it is going to be very hard to determine exactly what PSI you are running at. But the "driving around" method always seems to work too [ November 06, 2004, 09:39 PM: Message edited by: Quick 88LX ] -------------------- "Men are Made, Not Born" Car Picture : http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/quick88lx/ Original Member #495.
