This is amazing nicely done !! Been frustrated because I wanted to change mine out for the sake of knowing it was working and functioning as it should and had no option. Looking forward to the progress/end result and looking forward to sending mine over if required !!

Thank you for the compliments. Im afraid the retainer ring by itself won’t do you much good. The stock regulator body requires several machining steps to adapt the Delphi FP regulator. Once I’ve finished testing ths one I will be tweaking the machining steps a little to make it easier to reproduce which will likely impact the retainer ring design.

If this works out I am assuming you are shooting for an unmodified Delphi FP Regulator and a MODIFIED Stock FP Regulator body?

If ur fuel pressure checks out, then u know its working.

I am interested in this as well. Moving to a modern device would be great..

No modifications are necessary to the Delphi regulator, only to the stock base.
This particular Delphi regulator design comes in 3 pressure ratings FP10023 300 KPa (43 psi), FP10016 350 KPa (51 psi) and FP10021 400 KPa (58 psi). Note the pressure control range of FP10016 that I used in the above test was almost identical to that of the stock regulator.

How is this working out? Viable replacement?

Any updated status on how this is working for you?

Sorry, nothing new to report. Right now focused on completing the cylinder heads for the 427 build. Weather here lately not so great which hasn’t motivated me to get on with this.
