Need help with FPR My 98 z28 has been blowing out O ring after O ring from the regulator housing. The housing itself is deforming into more of an oval shape and then the o ring blows out the same place at the top of the oval every single time. Anyone else had an issue like this, or have a suggestion? I've been thinking about trying to find some 97-99 corvette rails with the rail mounted FPR but I'm on a tight budget so I'm not sure when it'll be before I could pick up a set.
Thanks in advance, Chris

So nobody's had a similar issue, or has any suggestions on the cheapest way to switch to a rail mounted FPR. Car's stock for the moment but will be getting h/c/i in a few months.

The 98's do seem to have problems with this.
Early Vette rails are getting increasingly hard to find as they have been discontinued for quite a while.
I can set you up with a complete fuel system, but it would be way overkill for your power level.
As an alternate, I could build up a regulator/line assembly to replace the return line from the filter to tank if interested. This would eliminate the intank regulator. A full return system would be better but it depends on what you want to spend.
Give me a call if you want to discuss.

For a fuel injection system, select a pressure gauge that is referenced to manifold vacuum and reads to 100 psi.
