Since my 83 needs a new FPR, and the lack of a schrader valve makes hooking up a pressure gauge difficult, would it make sense to install an adjustable FPR with a pressure gauge built in? has anyone done this?

Would something like this be a viable option?

For the price, it might be worth the try. It can handle up to 140 psi. But can the hose barbs and clamps? I don't have a FI 240 but presumably you could patch it in at the fuel line before it gets to the metal parts.

Boo,


Regulating the supply will have the effect of NOT regulating the injectors.

You must regulate the return.

This will require a lot of modifications to install, I wouldn't bother with it.

Not that I know of. People have fabricated their own schrader valve add-in. I'd check the FAQ, then re-post if you don't find it.
