I set the pressure at 37 vacuum disconnected. If anyone has followed my car problems I think the performance problem is fixed. Now the car has to be cranked for a 2-3 seconds before it starts and sometimes I have to crank it two times. I check all hoses and check for vacuum leaks with a guage and nothing. Should I raise the pressure? With the stock regulator the pressure was at 41psi,but started quickly, but ran like crap.
