Hello Bill,
My advice is to stay away from the cheapo "Mr Gasket", "Spectre",
"Purolator", "NAPA" etc. They all look the same, and I assume they are made
in the same factory somewhere overseas... Have a big dial that is marked in
PSI. I went through three in 2 days. They either leaked, shut off the fuel
flow completely, or did not regulate. I have also heard from others that
this type has a tendency to "stick" shut when not used regularly and they
severely restrict flow at high RPMS
Holley makes a nice one that is relatively inexpensive P/N #12-804 - ~$25.00
, but you also need to buy a gauge to see where is set. I think I spent a
little over $50.00 on everything, including the gauge. It has worked
flawlessly since it was installed.

i'm looking for a fuel pressure regulator. i see 'em in VB for
c.$50.00, but i found the same one (mr. gasket part #9710) for
$29.00 from another source... .. the question is, .. is the the
best/cheapest/most effective unit out there, or is there another one
that is more reliable/effective?
