setting fuel pressure AFPR Techs I have a question?
My mind is a bit rusty, since the last time I adjusted the FPR on my car. I just made a custom fuel gauge for the car and I noticed the pressure was 45psi for 55# injectors
the static pressure (vacuum port disconnected was 51)
when setting the appropriate pressure the procedure I remember is, you disconnect the vacuum port and you set the pressure to the desired level so static pressure should be 44psi correct? once the vacuum port is connected is going to show lower right?
see pict #1 is static (no vacuum)
Pict # 2 is vacuum port connected
I am right?
the other pictures are from my laurteman gauge, lol

Yep, set it without the vacuum line attached to ~43.5 psi.
Then when you reattach the vacuum line, the pressure will be lower (when the engine is under vacuum)...

What chips do you have lart? Factory chips and a few of the aftermarkets were programmed for the stock 2.5 bar regulator (i.e., closer to 36-37 on your gauge). Most performance chips are programmed for 3 bar these days, so you're probabably ok, but just in case...
