CAUTION!
Installation of this product should be performed by those persons knowledgeable in the repair and modification of automotive
fuel injection systems. Do not loosen fuel system connections until relieving pressure as recommended in your
automotive service manual. Fuel leakage will occur when loosening fuel system connections, eliminate potential fire hazards
before loosening any fuel system connections.
1. With the ignition “off” and engine cool, relieve the fuel system pressure.
2. Remove the existing regulator vacuum line, if so equipped.
3. Disconnect the existing regulator fuel lines. Plug the open fuel lines to prevent foreign matter from entering the fuel
system. Remove the existing regulator.
4. Determine the new regulator mounting location. Replace existing fuel lines as necessary for proper fitment. Use
existing bracket holes, if possible. Otherwise, mark and drill mounting bracket holes using the bracket as a template.
5. Install the o-rings and fittings (Fuel fittings NOT included) as shown below.
6. Assemble the bracket and regulator.
7. Install the regulator and bracket assembly in the desired location.
8. Connect and tighten fuel lines to the inlet and outlet, as shown below. Connect manifold vacuum to the vacuum fitting
on the regulator.
9. If installing Model 1729, install the plug (supplied) or connect a fuel pressure gauge to the gauge port using a 1/8-27
NPT male thread and thread sealer (not supplied).
10. Check for leaks: Turn ignition to the “Run” position and check all connections for leaks. If any leaks exist,
immediately turn key off and repair before continuing.
11. Start the engine, loosen the jam nut on the top of the regulator, and turn the adjusting screw until the desired fuel rail
pressure is obtained. Tighten the jam nut and re-check the fuel rail pressure.
