the spacer that usually goes between the block and the pump. Does your car have one? I think I remember that if you don't have one, the fuel pressure goes up a bit.
The 1972 145E that I bought for $50 up in Seattle(and an extra $24 for one of those cheapo Autozone chromie FPRs...), had HS6s on it, that kept leaking out of the float bowls every time I tried to get it ready to drive home. I made four trips up there from Portland, OR before we tossed the FPR on there so I could make it home. I probably put around 1500 miles on the car before I put it down to rest, the FPR didn't give me any trouble, suprisingly.
The only reason I think this car had an pressure issues is because it didn't have a spacer between the pump and block. I can't remember if it was a pierburg or the newer icky pumps...
