regulator not regulateing low enough !help so i just got done swapping a carbed 355 into my 94 z28. Fired it up for the first time and my fuel gauge is showing 14 pounds '' not good'' . Ive got an areomotive a1000 bypass reulator , i try to adjust lower but nothing . im running a walbro 255 intank pump threw the stock lines up to around the drivers door than to a -8 line to the regulator, than I have a -6 return. is there anything im doing wrong ,or to much pressure to regulate down ? im at a loss , any help would be great 
I've used several of those little "Mr Gasket" fuel
pressure regulators on my carbed vehicles, as
a crutch you may put that after the A1000 and
before the carb.
Given that the thing is carbed, it seems like you
are wasting good hardware and electrical power
to run an unnecessarily high pressure pump and
then scrub the pressure back off. Why not pull
the assembly, make a plain pickup tube and an
external low pressure electric pump?

His setup will work with the parts he has (if he replaces the return line), no need to re-design the wheel.
