The original owner had one of those aftermarket $25.00 FPRs installed in the line between the carbs and the pump. He also had a fuel filter in that area, which I switched to a place *before* the fuel pump. You can find the exact same thing at Autozone, but like previously noted, I'd avoid them. They are overpriced, but still cheap junk.
He included at least one spare FPR in the parts I got when I bought the car. When I recently rebuilt and reinstalled the HIF6s, I noticed that the old FPR would not reliably adjust, so I switched it with the other one - which had a tight adjuster wheel. Aparrently, the other one was not in use for a reason. Yesterday in the the "Valley" I learned why.
While looking for other options at the parts store yesterday, I did notice a dandly looking little inline fuel pressure gauge. I was tempted to buy it in order to se just what sort of fuel pressure my pump is subjecting the carbs to..
