Fuel Pressure Regulator and Gauge

[Brent13]

I would like to mount a fuel pressure regulator and gauge under the hood. Any of you have a write up on such a project? Pictures and part numbers of what I would need? One of my first upgrades to my Bronco was a new carb, got a Quick Fuel 4-barrel, about 600 CFM. I would now like to try and dial it in some more, and feel knowing what fuel pressure I am delivering would be a good start. Reading the Quick Fuel literature, this carb is setup to run best at 6.5psi.

Bronco is 1974, 302, C4

Thanks,
Brent

Here is a reg http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hly-12-803/overview/

and a gauge http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-800115/overview/

As far as installing it just add it somewhere in the engine bay. Place the gauge downstream/after the reg and adjust the regulator the pressure you want.

Just make sure the reg you purchase is adjustable.

If you want to spend a little more $ you can get a reg that already has a gauge installed on it

Obviously the location depends on what type of fuel pump you have ; electric or mechanical .
If you have an electric pump the firewall just below your fresh air intake is a great place.
If you have a mechanical pump then youre limited to the area around /between the pump and the carb. There are some gages and fittings that can be mounted directly to the carb . Then I supposed you'd just have to find a convenient place on the fuel line between carb and pump to mount the regulator .
