Default Corvette Regulator Filter

I was wondering if the return port on the vette filter is supposed to be hard to blow air through? I couldn't get air through by blowing through the port or sucking. the other ports on the filter were fine. I am working on a swap project and am having lean issues.

My guess is that it should be harder because it is regulated pressure and should open when it gets to certain pressure.

Who makes the filter regulator you are using? There are several junk units being sold out there. I will only use the WIX or NAPA regulators now. Have you verified your fuel pressure at the rail to see if it's correct?
