That's 400 lbs lighter than my b-body with me in it.....mand hopefully 500lbs more than my Opel, lol

Some good driving on both ends!.008 light will take out a LOT of people!! Well done sir!
Is your regulator pressure moving around still ?Checked everything except for the regulator. I’m going to rebuild it and see if it fixes it.
Yeah, it is odd. It’s at 3psi, I adjust it to 5.5, make a pass and it goes to 10+ so I adjust it back down to 5.5 and it holds so I make a pass and it’s 2-3 psi again. It’s constantly moving in the same direction that I adjust it as well. I’m going to replace the diaphragm in the regulator and replace the gauge before next time out. Voltage to the pump is solid and the filters are clean so I think I’m on the right track.Is your regulator pressure moving around still ?

A cheap Russell liquid filled. I’ll be replacing it with something better. Also might install one on the cowl so I can see it from the drivers seatWhat kind of gauge are you using?
That's basically what I was leaning towards. I had similar issues years ago. At one point I even had my brother setting the fuel pressure while there were only two cars ahead of me in the lanes because it was always changing. After that I put one one the cowl the comes off the fuel line at the carb.A cheap Russell liquid filled. I’ll be replacing it with something better.

I am useing a Auromotive electic fuel pressure guage that I bought used a few years ago. It works great.You may have already been on this line of thinking, but electric sending unit types will keep you from running a fuel line to the gauge…can even put the gauge in the car with you. Pick one with your intended pressure range to be able to read it better.

I’m not using a Holley regulator. This is the regulator that came with a complete Edelbrock/Russell fuel system that I have.I have had nothing but trouble with liquid filled gauges through the years, I won't use them. The Holley regulators that come with the Blue pumps need about 7# to hold through a run , use a better regulator. My experience anyway.

This is similar to the system I got which is no longer available.
