fuel pressure issues

[mustang98gt]

Badass_yellowGT,

Looks like were closer Ford Brothers in two different ways. Mine's Canary Yellow as well, and I'm just across the state line over in NH. I checked up on your website and brother, that is one nice yeller 'stang. I'll shoot you an email w/ a pic of mine here in a minute. Would you consider a NH GT in your club?

I will definately look at ditching the 255 lph and save it for a rainy day later in life aftermarket major mod. I just can't understand why it has to be so difficult (the 98's) being a 'bastard year'. I love my car to death, but I just wish mechanically, they would be absolutely the same as the 96-97, and even the 99's on up.

The vaccum rates you quote are what I'm getting. I did like the instructions were saying and capped off the vaccum line with my thumb while I adjusted the regulator.

I paid 10 bucks off ebay for my 97 crown vic rail. It was from a wrecked police cruiser that was being parted out. It didn't have a regulator attached but that was just fine with me because I decided to put on an aftermarket BBK instead anyways.

NOTE: I don't want to mislead you at all. The regulator does appear to be welded onto the fuel rail. When you look at the regulator (on the passenger side *WTF*) there is a black metal cover that rounds over it and bolts three different places; one of which is to the backside of the engine block (I say again WTF). After detaching that (your hands will be absolutely black after touching the heater core piping) and pulling the railing off, you will notice the regulator actually is held inside that cup that is welded to the rail. Its held in by a C-spring loaded clip. A pair of needle nosed (fine tipped mine you) should do the trick if you really care to look inside at it fully. First impression is that it is welded to the frame though, and it might as well still be, because you cannot fit a bigger nor adjustable regulator inside this 'cup'.

I'll be shooting you an email after this post with a pic and my contact info.

You have been a great help. I'll order up a new pump then from FFRP. 110 is too low and 255 sounded great at first, but man oh man. I'll let you know how the 190 will turn out.
