So I have been thinking to replace the fuel pressure regulator as it's the last thing I have left that hasn't been replaced in the entire fuel system.

From what I've read there are aftermarket replacements available they seem to work although I've only read 2 threads and nothing more on them. I'd much prefer an original new unit if I can find one or I've been thinking to have the rails modified for an fittings and add a universal performance aftermarket (usually adjustable).

Just looking for thoughts and opinions on the topic.

Long gone and the OEM unit is a sealed nonreparable unit. Your best hope is a part out as an NOS OEM unit could not be a safe best as the rubber may have rotted out by now. Lingenfelter made a selectable unit back in the day for use with boosted LT5s however they were rebuildable. It been a while since I have seen one of those to date. My only hope is Jerry as I know he's working on a DIS solution at the moment. However there is only so much DA man can do

appreciate the input. I agree that given these cars age I don't feel comfortable with the condition of the internals which is the foremost reason for the desire for replacement. Will talk to a shoppe in the am about welding fittings on.

Would Be nice if a billet hard line replacement was made something with form and function. GC
