Now here is the kicker, i can turn the adusting screw clockwise and the fuel pressure WILL climb. Now if i turn the adjusting screw counter clockwise it Will fall however when it reaches around 50 psi the adjusting screw looses tension ( it can be turned with my fingers) so im thinking something is screwed with the regulater. Also i had a guy get into the car and rev the car the the fuel pressure goes down and not up. Is that normal for the fuel pressure to drop instead of going up. Just to give some insight the car is a 331 with 8.5 compression for boost but not running any yet. Also im running 24lb injectors with stock fuel lines and rails, 255 in tank fuel pump. All help is appreciated.

When it looses tension, it is just as low as it can go. Now, My old problem was I could not go lower than 40 on my guage. Got a new reg. and Bam, 37, right where I wanted it. What are you using for a guage setup? Sounds to me like the guage might be going Fubar....
