Default CFI + New pump = Excess Fuel

I installed a electric fuel pump in my tank to replace the mech. intank and elec external. So I would have room for my exhaust. So now I think it drowns itself. When I start it it sometimes dies or when I resume from a start. And It smells really rich. So is there a after market Fuel pressure regulator that is cheap but will work. Or is the stock one just shot and will a new replacement one work?

Kirban, BBK, Professional Products, Aeromotive, & Holley all make good regulators. i personally have a holley on my car, but i dont think it reads right, so i bought a Kirban to install, just havent got around to it yet. i like kirban and BBK alot, so there not to expensive. the BBK is around 100 + s&h. and the kirban is around 85-90 +s&h depending on where you get it.

Carb'd? If it's carb'd you don't want more than 6-7psi at idle for most carbs, and it really only needs about 3-4 at WOT as long as it has good volume.
