67 Mustang fastback

off original sender I hooked it to the pump from their to the filter to the rail. Then for the return line I drilled and welded tubing to the original sender.

I took out my fuel regulator and somehow an 85 svo fuel regulator made its way onto it. I quickly replaced it with the correct 5.0 regulator which by the way is smaller and now I get out of the hole at the first click.

Now i have a very shaky idle. I checked for vacuum leaks because it sounded like one and there are none present. The smell of raw fuel is present at idle. No leaks in the lines or around the intake.

The idle did go down with the new regulator. I also had to bumb the timing and that helped the idle quality quite a bit. When I pulled the spout to set the timing the idle became worse until I connected the spout back in after I had set the base timing at 14 just wont run right at 10.

Any Ideas of what I should check?
