So I got to looking the yesterday, I realized my car doesn't have a fuel regulator. I have the aftermarket FAST fuel rails with stock injectors...I know the stock injectors have one, but my injectors just have the steel braid crossover...Where could it be?

If your looking for the regulator, its stock location is on the fuel pump assy on the bottom of the top where the lines hook up. Its on the return line.

I just went through this, I have 42s from my Turbo buicks which flow 42#s at 42 PSI at 58 PSI they will flow 49.6#s So I don't need to buy injectors for my 370 LQ4

you will want something higher than 42# injectors...preferably 60#s would be nice to start with.

Its on the fuel pump bucket assy. If you pull the pump assy out of the tank & flip it upside down look on the back side where the return line comes in & there it is, its not adjustable, there is a spring & a diaphragm in it if you take it apart.
