I just thought of something that might be of interest. If you have a fuel pressure gauge and a pressure regulator make sure you DON'T use of of the two ports of the regulator for the pressure sending unit.

Reason I found out from an engine builder here in Atlanta area. Those pressure regulators that have in IN side at the bottom of the "T" with the two out ports on each side. Those two "out" ports have an .080 diameter and they are made so both out ports flow to a float bowl. I made the mistake of using one of the out ports for the pressure regulator and the other to the carb. There was no way that one side could feed the engine at full throttle. You guys probably already know this but I didn't. The way we fixed it was to put an individual line on each out port and then teed off one of the lines to the pressure gauge.

Regards,
