you always check fuel presure with the vacum disconected and i never plug the vacume line. but mine is 40 to 44 with no vacum on the regulator

with the vacuum line it simulates WOT which should be around 40-45 and idle is can be up to something like 8 or something psi below this. I'd say your pressure looks good

Fuel Pressure 41 - 47 key on engine off.

Running at idle drop from 3 - 10 psi.
