Default fuel pressure?

Can anyone tell me the factory fuel pressure for a 91 5.0 H.O.? I know it has 19lb injectors, just wanted to know stock pressure? Thanks!

Default RE: fuel pressure?

should be about 36psi at idle w/ vac on, 38-ish w/ vac off (may be as hi as 42)

42psi wot and vac on....flucuations between all those numbers are ok when intermediate throttle.....it should level out to about 36 psi though

more fp is bad....robs hp 34-35 at idle is best on a stockish 5.0 but you'll need to lean it out for that.

I have it set at 37-38lbs at idle with the vac line on. Should it go up 1 or 2 lbs when I pull off the vacume line? I think I may be leaning out at wot. I sometimes get a popping noise around wot. I think I may need to turn it up to about 39-40lbs at idle.
