Default Holley fuel pressure regulator and what i should get to replace it.

Well mine just failed after owning it for aprox 3 wks or so found out today why my idle was messing up so bad the regulator had fuel coming out of the part that u adjust that has the vac line connected to it so the manifold was sucking in fuel which was messing with my idle lol. Just curious if any of you guys experienced problems with this one. What should i get as a replacement? Adder told me to get the Kirban one which i think im gonna do.

Get a Kirban. They are billet aluminum, have two O rings and are rebuildable.

Did you buy the part used? Some of the Regs. on the market cannot withstand anything above c16. depending on what type of material the diaphragm is made of.

I can get a hook up on a BDL Reg if you or anyone is interested.

Has a -10 in/out -8 return adjustable from 25 psi to max fuel pump capacity. The diaphragmhas a burst rate of 300 psi as well can accept fuels gas, c16, methanol, alcohol...

you might be able to order a new diaphragm. You could try giving them a call and see what they say as well.

What is the recommended setting for FP on a 302/306 anyways.
