I've searched around on here, and a tad on nasioc. Aeromotive seems to be the "shit" type adj. fpr, but I wanted to see if anyone else has any suggestions.

The OEM FPR used on certain cars with Bosch D-Jetronic EFI systems is adjustable from the factory. But, it's atmosphere-referenced, not manifold-referenced.
It's not hard, however, to modify it to make it manifold-referenced. You basically turn the adjustment screw into an air channel (like a banjo bolt, sort of) and attach a pressure port to the end. MSD does it and sells it as their part number 2222, which Summit Racing sells for 60 bucks:

Dune-Buggy.com has instructions for doing it yourself:

The Bosch regulator's inlet and outlet nipples fit our stock hoses well.

So if I bought the MSD one, I would not have to modify anything, correct?
I'll take a look at the dune buggy page.
thanks

Yes, I believe that is correct. You wouldn't even have to remove your stock FPR if you just wanted to raise fuel pressure; you could just stick the MSD one in the return line.
Hm, but I just realized -- that maximum pressure setting on that FPR is only 45 psi, which isn't very high.

It'll fit the stock hoses, not the rail.

I'm completely redoing the fuel lines. Going to do the parallel fuel mod. I will be removing the stock regulator completely, and will be using two driver's side rails.

dual inlets from the tank, or dual outlets to the lines?

FPRs have inlets from the rail(s) and outlets to the tank(s).

I've decided not to bother with the series to parallel mod right now.
I talked with Dale at Teague's for a little bit this morning, and from his experience they haven't really run across fuel starvation, assuming you have a good pump like the walbro.
I may revisit it when I put bigger injectors & a larger turbo on, but for now, I'll just save the hassle.
