Potential Fuel Pressure Regulator Solution
 

Looking into potential alternatives to our NLA fuel pressure regulators.
Here are some photos of tansplanting a later style Delphi regulator to the original LT5 regulator body. So far looking very promising. Next step is machining a retainer ring and drilling and threading several screw holes to hold it together. Then test it out. Will keep everyone here posted as to the results.

Is the stock one just a press fit?

Re: Potential Fuel Pressure Regulator Solution
 

The stock one is an old school design with a separate diaphragm and valve disk assembly under the vacuum dome.

I think you could just zip tie it in.....lol

I have an old one someone sandblasted if you're looking for ones to test things on

Re: Potential Fuel Pressure Regulator Solution
 

Sure, send it over

The L98 was a bolt in top.. maybe a ring with screws to bolt in..

Retainer ring finished and regulator installed on the fuel rails. Now on to the testing phase. Wish me luck.
