i use that one. I have it at 4 bar base with a 1:1 rise with boost. works great.

one thing you may want to note though is that it has -6 ORB inlet/outlet/return

which might restrict you down the road if you wanna play with turbos and corn fuel

yeah there's several ways to plumb it.

i run my feed in the right hand port, left hand port to my single inlet stock truck fuel rail, bottom port is always the return/bypass

pressure sensor on the front, boost pressure to the lil snooter thing on the side

i didnt even adjust it lol it came set to 4 bar

That's the cheapest one I've found that has a 1/2 fittings to support the power I needed on E85.

You can buy a cheapie china 3/8 adjustable regulator for around $30. I've used alot of them over the years and never had an issue on pump fuel. The aeromotive copies are the ones I used.

I just couldn't trust any Chinese stuff like that for a critical component !

And never leave those gauges installed full time in case they break

I'm glad you got it figured out Marty. That's strange that the regulator wasn't enough for the pump.

I just finished a Holley Sniper install on a 69 Camaro using Holley's drop in 420lph pump and didn't have any problem. The Sniper uses the same regulator as the Holley regulator you were using. IIRC it's actually a OEM GM regulator.

Regardless I'm glad you got it figured out.

I just ordered the 13129 regulator to avoid the same headache and knowing I plan on a turbo in a year or so. Plus it was suggested on sloppy mechanics.
