My guess would be your fuel pressure regulator is acting up. If the spring is dislodged in center that can cause high pressure. Another possibility is the gauge isn't working right.

That does not mean it's working correctly. I bought a brand new autometer pyro gauge and it was off. I would check your fpr. Hopefully it's something simple.

Well pulled the regulator today cleaned everything seamed to fix it, ...... till fuel pressure starts to drop off. So I get out and luck would have it the male end of the regulator is cracked (fudge monkeys) so ordered a new one from guzzles well see if that fixes it.

Sorry I forgot to tell you not to over tighten it. That is common problem. You should be happy with Bob's FPR.

I tested all three springs Bob supplys and they all provided fuel pressure within the margins he lists:

58-61 psi silver spring (Stock pressure)
62-65 psi gold spring
67-70 psi black spring

His Billet FPR Housing is a great product.
